Supporting Your Team

I provide group facilitation, training, and consulting to a range of organizations, communities, and teams. I believe that teams work best when provided with frameworks and support to help them interact with each other and the world in just, humanizing ways that are in line with their collective ethics. Some specific areas I have experience working with teams:

Justice & Equity

I connect with teams looking to create work environments that are more socially just and inclusive for people from all social locations. This work gets called a number of things including Social Justice, Anti-Oppressive Practice, Diversity Training, Multicultural Practice, etc. My goal is to help teams find ways of working actively and collectively to resist structures of harm. This means holding onto generosity and the knowledge that no individual is to blame for systems of oppression, while also holding everyone accountable to not replicating their degrading practices.

Sustainability

Working with teams involved in the care of others to find ways to stay sustained over time. These kinds of training and conversations are often of particular use to folks involved in social services, social change, environmental justice, or other activism and advocacy work in paid or unpaid capacities. Though not my preferred language, this work around sustainability is referred to in some context as addressing Self-Care, Burnout, Vicarious Trauma, etc. As in many areas of my practice, my work in this space is deeply informed by ideas articulated by Vikki Reynolds and the idea that we stay alive in difficult work when we are working in line with our collective ethics.

“Trauma Informed” Practice

Supporting organizations seeking a framework for working alongside people who have experienced significant harm over the course of their lives. I believe it is useful for teams to have a shared foundation, not only of the physiological components of what is understood as trauma, but the ways in which it is most often connected to systems of structural oppression.
