Staff and National Trainers

National Trainers

The following CRISS trainers have attained NATIONAL TRAINER certification, which means they are exemplary trainers who may facilitate CRISS Level I trainings (12-24 hours) in any school, district, or region in the country. Those trainers whose names are followed by an asterisk (*) have MASTER TRAINER status. Master Trainers are the only trainers qualified to facilitate Level II workshops (training of trainers), in addition to Level I trainings. Please feel free to contact these trainers directly to set up a training/workshop or you may contact our National Training and Materials Coordinator, Stacy Liebig, 1-877-502-7477 or info@projectcriss.com.
