About Shelly Pinomaki, San Diego's Most Remarkable Women Award Winner 2020
Shelly Pinomaki lost her sister at the hands of a murderer during Christmas 2011, and witnessed the additional trauma inflicted upon her family from well-meaning friends, families – even professionals – because they had no idea what to say or do. Shelly became impassioned to help others who wanted to help those in emotional pain, and received trauma training, became a chaplain, then founded Seeking Hope. Shelly also serves as a chaplain with the San Diego Sheriff’s Department.

What is CARES?
You’ll get access to our CARES Online Training modules that train you on emotional crisis response. Here is some of what you’ll receive in each module:
You’ll learn how to build connection, the definition of a crisis, and the fundamentals of providing emotional first aid.
In this module, we will explain how to define the relationship in crisis, appropriate responses, and steps to take when assessing a situation.
Find out how you can reassure someone and bring words of life and hope. We will cover the questions you should and should not ask someone in crisis.
Crisis isn’t resolved instantly, you’ll learn how to endure the process, make important decisions, and find resources to move forward.
We believe that true hope is found in God. We will teach you to hear his voice, how to offer spiritual comfort, and review a powerful biblical story of crisis response.
