Trainings on Trauma-Informed Practices for the Communities You Serve
Working directly with at-risk, marginalized or underserved communities? Knowing the most helpful thing to do or say can be incredibly challenging. But there is a science to it.
​​
Participate in trauma-informed educational trainings to learn best practices, evidence-based skills, and tools for effectively working with the communities you care for.
Executive Coaching and Skill-Building Workshops
Dealing with difficult thoughts and emotions from your line of work? Compassion fatigue and burnout are all too common in high-stress workplaces, and we often feel that our own needs must take a backseat in service of our mission.
But it is possible to tend to yourself while you care for others.
​​​
Engage in interactive workshops and provide your team with
individualized executive coaching. ​
Mental Health Consultation to Support Your Org's Wellness Initiatives
Looking to develop your own mental health services or products? We believe that science should be accessible to all. With the right support and guidance, organizations can develop their own sustainable wellness practices.
Receive consultation on ethical, science-informed best practices so that you can develop the best offering for your intended audience, the first time around.
What to Expect
We've all been in trainings that were well-intentioned, but missed the mark - leaving us feeling frustrated and alone in our efforts to cope with the challenges of work. Each organization has unique needs and its own story, so why would we expect a one-size-fits-all approach to create meaningful change?
With the Center for Values-Based Living, each training or workshop series is curated to your team, bridging the science and your organization's individuality.
