Every one of us was raised in various social environments that informed us about our own identities and the identities of others, including skin color, body size, sexual and gender identity, socioeconomic class, and other cultural identities that impact our lives.
This Cultural Humility training provides participants with opportunities to reflect on how our cultural identities impact our unconscious and implicit biases. Having the courage to explore our own identities and excavate our learned biases helps ensure that our communication and behavior are consistent with our values and demonstrate respect for all with whom we interact.
The question is no longer whether we have LGBTQIA+ clients and colleagues, but whether they feel they can share this aspect of their identity with us.
This workshop provides participants with a clear understanding of sexual orientation, sexual identity, and gender identity. It is appropriate for participants with any level of knowledge, and offers straightforward, accessible, open discussion with opportunities for questions to be asked and answered.

A great way to start an honest conversation around diversity and inclusion! This brief, solution-focused training seeks to help participants understand the ways we respond when someone uses language we perceive as offensive; to increase our awareness of our own verbal triggers, and to provide solutions for responding in ways that honor our own boundaries without shaming the speaker.
“If not now, when?” – Hillel the Elder
There is no better time than the present to understand racism and its toxic effects on all of us. This training provides the knowledge, language, and tools needed to boldly and productively address issues of race, racism, and skin color privilege.
This training helps foster environments that are welcoming and supportive of individuals from a vast array of cultures, including but not limited to skin color, ethnicity, gender, sexual identity, religion, body size, citizenship, ability and age. A culturally diverse workplace is a cognitively diverse workplace: we are better when we invite and harness multiple perspectives.
Gender identity is an integral part of each of us. This training will clarify the differences between sex and gender, and create greater understanding of what it means to be transgender, nonbinary and other terms used to define one's gender identity.

This training faces a topic that is overwhelming to many: the very real risks of adolescent suicide. There are concrete and protective ways of providing support to teens who may be at risk for self-harm. By the close of the workshop, participants will have a deeper understanding of adolescent development; warning signs for suicide risk; and practical interventions, to provide the best chances for the adolescent’s survival.
Nearly all of us experience some level of stress on a daily - sometimes hourly - basis. How we address it can make the difference between experiencing manageable, even motivating kinds of stress, versus stress that can make us sick, threaten our relationships, and ultimately shorten our lives. This training provides participants with tools to develop a greater awareness of how stress manifests in each of us, and how to care for ourselves when we experience it.
Trainings are also available on a range of other subjects, from body size/weight stigma, to presentation skills and train-the-trainer workshops. If it's not in our wheelhouse, we'll be 100% honest about that, too.
All trainings are eligible for CEC/CEU certification in New York and Connecticut, and some qualify for cultural competence credits: please contact us for more information.
