Programs & Trainings

Connection • Education • Healing • Prevention

We offer trauma-informed trainings, workshops, and creative programs that support suicide prevention, suicide postvention, grief, life skills, and whole-person wellness.

All programs can be facilitated in your space or ours and are available in person or virtually unless otherwise noted.

Strategic Doing Workshops

Tired of board meetings that lead to good ideas but no action?

Strategic Doing is a highly effective, action-oriented approach to moving ideas into reality. These intensive, facilitated workshops help organizations stop cycling through “We should do that someday” and start creating momentum, accountability, and results.

This is a donation-based service due to the depth of involvement required.
