CONSULTING

An effective facilitator can make or break the effectiveness of a meeting.  I would love to help with facilitating your team building, staff retreats, and strategic planning meetings.  To provide continuity I can then work with leadership teams to ensure the goals of these activities are accomplished.  By using creative group exercises, and humor, I can create safe spaces for staff to be creative and have fun.

If you need assistance in writing curriculum or delivering existing training, I can help.  In the past I worked on the Casey Family Services curriculum for youth in foster care.  I also developed my own training on Engaging Families in the Process of Change and Interviewing from a Strengths Perspective.  The training I deliver offers adult learners a variety of ways to incorporate the material provided into their daily work.  I use a variety of learning styles and humor to keep the audience engaged. 

Once your staff is trained, how do you know they are demonstrating the skills learned in training?  I provide coaching to managers, supervisors, and staff from a non-judgmental and supportive lens.  My coaching includes a prescribed number of sessions for the employee and a follow-up meeting with their manager to discuss progress.  Areas of coaching include managing conflict, addressing employee behavior successfully, and helping staff implement a trauma focused and solution focused approach. 

Working with individuals who need clinical supervision hours to become fully licensed is something I enjoy.  For agencies with multiple staff looking to become fully licensed, I can provide group and individual clinical supervision.  My approach with both groups and individuals is to work from a strengths perspective and to provide insight on how to work with people from a trauma responsive and trauma informed place.

If you have received grant money to begin a new program or want to propose a program idea to obtain grant money, my agency will be a good fit for this work. Working in the field of mental health and child protective services has given me a great deal of experience in this area.  Identifying and implementing creative and evidence-based practices to serve children, families, or individuals is a core competency of my agency.
