Facilitation Services and Curator

We love the opportunity to facilitate, educate and empower. One of our favorite skillsets is to facilitate discussions around mental health, social and racial justice. These topics can be hard to navigate at times and make people feel uneasy. However, with use of our clinical background we make the process seamless but inviting, so everyone feels they have a voice. This doesn’t mean conflict will not arise, we just meet it head on and address it, fostering a safe and healthy environment! Please see below for videos!

Topics of Expertise: Mental Health, Mental Well-Being, Employee Well-Being, Racial Equity, Social Justice, DEI, Black Men and Mental Health
