Our Areas of Expertise

Our own related experiences and our track-record of successful work with domestic and international organizations has given us a wealth of relevant expertise that we are privileged to use to support others. Our specialists have expertise in supporting staff and managers with regards to:

  • Resilience and Wellbeing

    Resilience is the capacity to successfully navigate elevated levels of challenge, change, and stress, and to recover quickly from setbacks or disruptive events. We can help you identify and implement effective strategies for building resilience and protecting and sustaining your wellbeing.

  • Insecure Environments, Natural Disasters and other Emergencies, Evacuations and Shelter-In Place Situations

    Many of our client organizations have staff working in emergency response or other types of insecure environments, or facing mandatory evacuation or shelter in place orders. We help individuals in these situations learn how to cope and better maintain wellbeing, and managers learn how to effectively support and communicate with staff operating in these conditions.

  • Psychological Safety When Working with Graphic Content

    Many of our client organizations have investigative, advocacy, or Trust & Safety staff who are exposed to high levels of graphic content and/or misinformation involving violence, human trafficking, sexual abuse, animal cruelty, hate speech, and other human rights violations. We help you understand common stress and trauma reactions that can arise, strategies for coping, and practical and process strategies for mitigating the impact of working with graphic content.

  • Trauma-Aware and Trauma-Informed Approaches

    Taking a trauma-informed approach means understanding the impact of trauma at individual and communal levels and being equipped to work in a way that seeks first to “do no further harm.” Working from a trauma-informed approach is best practice for duty of care in multiple fields including human rights, humanitarian response, and investigations. We can help you learn what a trauma-informed approach may look like for you and your team and build related skills.
