Workshops & Training
I provide professional development workshops and training for a wide range of organizations. This work is focused on teaching non-therapists how to develop skills that might be called therapeutic: empathy, self-awareness, trauma awareness, and the ability to interact positively with people who are struggling or in distress.
Some organizations prefer a foundational approach (typically 1-3 sessions), whereas others choose training that is more in-depth (which typically requires 4-12 sessions). Every organization is unique; training is customized for the specific needs and context of a given organization.
Below are descriptions of workshops and trainings that I have offered within the past year or so, with various organizations. To discuss a possible workshop or training for your organization, please get in touch.
