PUBLIC HEALTH CONSULTING
As public health professionals, we are passionate about lending our content expertise and big thinking to solving some of the most pressing social challenges of our time. Let us see how we can help your organization do the same.
We can provide consultation and content expertise as well as make recommendations based on research and best practices, but you are the expert on your community or organization! Therefore, we view each of our consulting services as a highly collaborative process. We will always begin by getting to know you and understanding your needs. This allows us to provide highly individualized services that will make your job easier while offering the greatest impact for your organization, clients or constituents, and the community at large.
Here are some of the ways we can support your work.
Workforce Development Planning
Everyone can have a role in prevention, different roles require different depths of training and expertise, and all of these roles can work together to create a Network of Safety for your clients, staff, families, and community.
Leveraging our ever-growing portfolio of Suicide Prevention, Intervention, and Postvention trainings, we can work with organizations to help identify who could benefit from what level of training, recommend the best trainings to meet those needs, and develop a strategy for getting employees trained.
In addition to providing trainings across the spectrum of prevention, we can provide planning, implementation, and evaluation support, as well as help with sustainability planning. We have experience supporting ongoing new employee orientation trainings and large-scale, multi-year organization-wide training rollout. Regardless of the size of the department or organization, we look forward to supporting your workforce development needs.
Customized Training Programs & Curriculum Develoment
We have experience creating evidence-based, research-informed trainings and workshops on a variety of suicide prevention and public health topics for a range of audiences, including youth, young adults, families, communities members, and professionals. We have also developed workshops around our lived experiences which offer both a personal glimpse into pain, loss, and grief, along with ideas for practical application and a sense of hope. We aim to design relevant, inclusive, responsive, trauma-informed content using a variety of pedagogical approaches to meet different levels of experience and learning styles.
​
We have also developed customizable booster trainings to reinforce key concepts, refresh skills, and build confidence with suicide community helper and intervention skills. They include structured dialogue, Q&A, agency resources, customized scenarios, and additional practice opportunities.
Customized Wellness Retreats
​
We provide several multi-day wellness retreats annually at locations throughout Oregon. For workplaces, we can bring a retreat to you! Looking for something that is a few hours or a few days? We would work together to understand your goals and the needs of your team, and we would offer topics and activities to meet them. These interactive and immersive retreats can include activities to support team-building, sources of strength, resilience, hope, and workplace practices that promote overall wellbeing. Your team will leave feeling refreshed, invigorated, and excited to show up for themselves and others (colleagues, loved ones, and clients).
