trainings, workshops, & consultations

I-CBT is a 4-module integrative trauma-responsive healing model that is informed by a person's lived experience honoring the relationship between one's identity and systems of power and oppression.  One's identity would include but is not limited to race, ethnicity/culture, gender, class, ability, spirituality and power.  With this workshop and training,  healing and helping professionals will understand the relationship between identity and power and how that informs their overall and sexological worldview. Participants will explore how a healing-justice approach in service delivery will combat compassion-fatigue for the provider and microagressions the client experiences. Lastly,  Participant will be able to describe  and demonstrate at least four (4) affirming and somatic strategies to engage with marginalized identities and communites. This training can be delivered in a 2.5-hour workshop or 3-part training series.

Diversity, equity, and inclusion training is a must and just the start of impactful  workplace and company cohesion. Understanding  how company culture uses power to reinforce harmful stereotypes and widens the culture divide between administration and non-administration team members is the bare minimum in today's workplace.  Leading with emotional intelligence and equity, leadership must learn how to develop and apply an intersectional lens to their leadership delivery in order to shift the workplace culture from burn-out to affirming and trauma-informed. With this 5-part training series, helping and service provider leadership will expand their interpersonal skills & widen their compassion threshold by learning how to engage in safer interactions with team members and clients. This training and coaching can be carried out in a dialogue of mini-seminars, activities, and processing discussions. Each learning session is 2-2.5 hours to allow for processing and participant demonstration. To support the sustaining of such training, supplemental resources and consultation will be provided. 

As a trauma-responsive licensed clinical social worker who specializes in wellness &  healing, I have over 19 years of personal and professional wellness experience.  I have worked in a variety of clinical and service delivery communities, in addition to,  being part of  integrated healthcare teams. I have worked  with social workers, school counselors, psychologists, psychiatrists, foster care workers, consultants, educators, and community stake holders.  As both direct service provider and administrator, I have lived and learned the importance of not just self-care, but overall wellness being vital in supporting and preventing burn-out.

If your company, team, and culture is looking to widen it's capacity to provide wellness support to combat compassion-fatigue and burn-out  experiened by your team of service providers & in turn widen their capacity to provide affirming and compassionate care,  let's do more than talk- Let's create impact.
