Moderating & Facilitating
The Awareness Institute is available to facilitate difficult discussions about diversity, equity, and inclusion. We create a respectful dialogue space where a specific problem can be explored and addressed without blaming or shaming individuals. After each discussion, recommendations and resources are provided to help the group move forward on the issue.
Community Workshops
We believe that people learn from sharing each other’s stories. Our community workshops help resident leaders listen deeply and connect various stories in order to transform their communities. Historically, most DEI trainings are offered through the workplace or schools but we believe social justice training also needs to happen in the community, where people live. We offer workshops to help individuals learn to interrupt microaggressions outside of their work roles.
The Awareness Institute specializes in creating change, without a blame focus which reduces the angry feelings of “us vs. them” often feared in diversity discussions.
Trainings for Organizations
The Awareness Institute works with organizations of any size. Our trainings are ideal for businesses, non-profits, schools, and spiritual groups to address issues around diversity. From inclusion to effective communication, we can work with your group to help you function in a fair and inclusive way.
