New Service
The Wellbriety Training Institute is a division of White Bison Inc., and has been formed to provide centralized training on the existing and future White Bison programs for the Wellbriety Movement.
Beginning in January 2010, the Wellbriety Training Institute will offer a regular schedule of open enrollment “Facilitator Certification” classes in Colorado Springs, CO. We hope that this new training facility will make our programs more readily available and, in turn, increase the number of communities that have local certified facilitators.
We are dedicated to providing culturally based training, tools and resources to ensure the ongoing growth and sustainability of the Wellbriety Movement.
