Our Mission: Bowman Consulting Group is dedicated to partnering with organizations, agencies, communities and systems to provide collaborative problem solving training, trauma-informed care, coaching, consultation and support to staff serving children, youth and adults who struggle as a result of trauma, neurodiversity, developmental differences, or mental health challenges.

We have had the privilege of working with Rick and Doris for over a year, both as a school and now a school district. To say this work has been transformative is an understatement. It has changed the way we work with students, improved our school culture and provided steps to build durable, life-long skills in our students. Collaborative Problem Solving has become necessary training for EVERY educator in our building. We have worked exclusively with Rick and Doris as their expertise, experience and presentation skills are second to none. CPS has helped us find our vision for how we want to work with our children, Rick and Doris have provided the stepping stones to get there.

Our Vision: We envision a future in which every child, youth & adult, regardless of trauma history, neuro-developmental differences or mental health diagnoses will receive the neurobiologically and developmentally appropriate education, treatment & services that will enable them to grow, develop and reach their potential as an individual and member of their community, AND that every Adult serving them will receive the neurobiologically grounded training & support needed to enable them to generate and sustain their own optimal wellness & resilience.

Rick and Doris are experienced practitioners that can speak to the daily challenges student serving professionals face. Their trainings provide a sense of validation and help us make sense of what we are experiencing with our students and in ourselves. No we aren’t crazy and this is why! Their solid understanding of the neurobiology of trauma puts them on the leading edge of how best to work with students, families and coworkers most impacted by trauma.

HBCC has been hosting trainings with Rick and Doris Bowman since 2016 and we receive exceptional feedback! Parents, teachers and service providers report back immediate results in their homes, classrooms and practices due to what they learned at a Bowman Consulting training. HBCC is continually asked to schedule more of their trainings from participants in our community. As the founder of HBCC, it is always pleasurable to work with the Bowmans’ high standards and willingness to go above and beyond, delivering powerful, effective and expert training and consultation!

Why Bowman Consulting Group?

Conventional wisdom isn’t working!!

ALL matter, ALL need support, and ALL WANT TO DO WELL!

You understand, as do we, that commitment to the long-term is crucial!
You also understand that system-wide change is hard!
We aren’t showing up with a magic wand… We’re going to deliver solid, research-based training,
followed by coaching, consultation & support that will GUARANTEE RESULTS!!

Rick & Doris Bowman helped us with our initial roll-out of Collaborative Problem Solving in 2017 and we have been privileged to partner with them since that time. Their expertise and willingness to think and act in innovative ways has produced successful outcomes for our employees and the adults and children that we support daily. I can honestly say that the Bowmans provide much more than a transfer of information, their hands-on approach to CPS trainings comes with their sincere desire to mentor each participant and to help produce an ongoing behavioral growth mindset. They have provided the essential feedback and support we have needed to move toward developing our training infrastructure as Collaborative Problem Solving becomes a primary focus of our engagement when individuals are experiencing crisis. In a nutshell…CPS works! And Rick and Doris have been at the forefront showing us the way to incorporate it and provide support to those who have the greatest need!

The tools and strategies were very helpful. I also appreciated the practical examples. This is my 3rd training with Bowman Consulting Group. Every single workshop has been relevant and extremely beneficial in my role of supporting staff who care for our most vulnerable population.
