Safety & Support
Thriving communities are safe communities where people have their needs met. Whether you are a nonprofit working with families impacted by trauma, or a community member concerned about food insecurity, we can help you create better policies and practices to enhance community health. We also work with bereaved parents to support their family's resilience.
LIFELONG LEARNING
NATURAL WORLD
Thriving communities continue to learn and grow. We offer expertise in community education, workforce development, and lifelong learning. We work in close collaboration with our clients to create custom training products that implement your theory of change, all the while respecting individual learning differences.
​Thriving communities deserve equal access to the natural world including clean air, land, and water. We have worked with small agencies to full communities on creating safer and healthier ways of living in the world together. Community conservation and land conservation should go hand-in-hand.
CIVIC BELONGING
Beloved communities welcome everyone to the table. We provide consulting to schools, businesses, and community organizations on how to create affirming, safe spaces for people who have been marginalized or victimized. Let's repair harm and restore justice together.
WORTHWHILE WORK
We can move from an extractive economy to a regenerative economy and change the way we engage in this new world of work. From providing coaching for executives or teams in transition. to board training to leading interactive sexual harassment training, we can uplift relationships at work.
Our approach is asset-based, trauma-informed, equity-focused and integrates the personal and professional. Its whole-person and whole-community engagement.We value radical transparency, accountability to community, and vulnerability in building mutual trust with our clients.
