PHILOSOPHY AND METHODOLOGY
Peer Advocates Training and Consulting is a collective of highly skilled, experienced, and educated Trainers, Consultants, Practitioners, Facilitators, and Coaches. Our collective experience is vast, working with public and private companies, organizations, city, state, and federal government agencies, school districts, universities, community groups, and individuals.
Our focus is on bringing about positive culture and climate shifts while building your internal capacity so that you and your organization maintain the highest levels of effectiveness. Your needs are assessed, and all of our trainings and practices are customized to meet your needs.
Peer Advocates Training and Consulting's methodological emphasis is steeped in Transformative Teaching and Learning - a principle that personal experience is an integral part of the learning process. In that, all of our workshops with you are highly interactive so that the participant's interpretation of the experience creates meaning, which leads to a change in the behavior, mindset, and beliefs. When Transformative Learning occurs, a learner may undergo a "paradigm shift" that directly and constructively impacts future experiences.
Through our workshops, trainings, consultations, and site-based program development, we are committed to working with you and your organization to bring about the best possible outcomes towards positive culture, climate, and relational shifts.

8. How to Have Healthy Conflict
For: Agencies, Organizations, Community Groups, Schools, Families, The Workplace It is safe to say that most people don't like conflict. The thing about conflict, though, is that it is everywhere. The other thing about conflict is that we will have it for the rest of our lives. What most people don't consider, however, is that conflict - when handled in a thoughtful way - can bring about great opportunities for growth in relationships and in the work that people do together.
So, how do you communicate in a more thoughtful way so that conflict is an opportunity for positive growth and change? How do you create a workplace where conflict is handled more effectively so that there are fewer problems and fewer conflicts? If you want the answers to these questions, then this workshop is for you.
In this interactive class, you will learn what conflict is really all about and how to resolve it. You will examine various communication styles and what causes conflict amongst people with these differing styles. You will learn new ways to communicate so that conflict can be an opportunity for positive growth and change, and how respond to conflict in order to calm down difficult situations.

9. LGBTQI+ Identity & Inclusion: At Work and Beyond
For: Agencies, Organizations, Community Groups, Schools, Families, The Workplace LGBTQ, trans and gender fluid people are showing up at every stage of social identity development from pre-school to seniors, and are part of the fabric of every segment of our society. Still, claiming one's sexual identity is scary if LGBTQ - vulnerability, cultural disdain, peer exclusion and social isolation are key challenges for the person who identifies outside of the hetero-normative social structure. Unfortunately, LGBTQ people have been harmed for generations. It is not always safe to be out at work, within organizations, or in the community.
Oftentimes, these harms are unintentionally leveled at LGBTQ individuals due to a lack of awareness and education, leading to unsafe and unhealthy work environments, ultimately creating less productive outcomes and damaging capacity building at work.
In this highly interactive session, we will explore culturally responsive concepts and topics related to working with an LGBTQ population of colleagues, co-workers, and community members.
Participants will walk away with a deeper understanding of the range of people within the LGBTQ community who have always been a part of the human experience. You will examine language and labels, be challenged to give up pre-judgments, learn how to be an ally, gain greater comfort in interactions with the spectrum of LGBTQ identified individuals, and create a welcoming environment for the LGBTQ community in your workplace.

11. Problem Solving Through Effective Communication
For: Agencies, Organizations, Community Groups, Schools, Families, The Workplace It is safe to say that most people don't like conflict. The thing about conflict, though, is that it is everywhere. The other thing about conflict is that we will have it for the rest of our lives. Whether these are internal conflicts or conflicts between individuals or groups, conflict will arise in many different ways and come from many different directions. How then - when you are in conflict with employees - do you re-engage them and bring your place of work back into balance? How do you clear out the "land mines', rebuild relationships and trust, and get back on track towards a more productive and positive work environment? And, then, how do you create a workplace 5 ATTACHMENT I

12. Questions: Creating Effective Questions In The Workplace For: Agencies, Organizations, Community Groups, Schools, Families, The Workplace Do you sometimes find yourself at a loss in knowing how to formulate good questions? Do you ever get negative reactions when you do ask questions? Are you aware that how you ask a question can have more weight than what you are asking? Questions, and how we ask them and what we ask, often reflect the assumptions we already have about any given situation. Questions have the power to both reflect and determine our thoughts and actions, leading to unintended consequences and conflict. Whether you are an Executive, Team Leader, or just want to enhance your own skills and abilities in crafting effective questions and improve your awareness of what and how you ask questions, then this workshop is for you.
Participants will:
Learn to design effective questions
• Change the way they think when designing the questions • Learn how to use words to get positive responses from the questions • Learn 10 tools to enhance their life or work by asking the right questions • Learn to switch the questions to make maior breakthroughs Learn techniques to move beyond limitations in perception and thinking towards solutions and answers.
13. Stories Matter: Communicating Intentions in the Workplace For: Agencies, Organizations, Community Groups, Schools, Families, The Workplaco Have you ever lost your "footing, or sense of self when interacting with colleagues, leadership, or clients? Do you sometimes find yourself rethinking situations and think, "I should have said this", or "I should have responded like this" - regretting that you didn't bring your best self to the meeting or interaction? Do some situations make you lose your sense of self or purpose? The truth is, we all carry perspectives - stories - consciously and unconsciously, and carry biased narratives into every waking hour, and that may not serve us, or others, professionally or personally. We all carry "stories" that get in the way of being effective and successful in our interactions.
In this highly interactive workshop, you will explore the narratives of who you believe you are, who you want to be, and how to activate your best assets when interacting with others. You will leave with a deeper understanding of Emotional Intelligence, thereby creating more productive professional and personal relationships. In a safe space you'll discover ways in which our stories are inter-connected and develop tools to have deeper connections and clearer communication as a team member, or in one-on-one interactions.

14. Trauma Resiliency Training
For: Agencies, Organizations, Community Groups, Schools, Families, The Workplace The word "trauma" is used to describe experiences or situations that are emotionally painful and distressing, and that overwhelm people's ability to cope, leaving them powerless, and oftentimes, unable to function effectively. Trauma has sometimes been defined in reference to circumstances that are outside the realm of normal human experience. Unfortunately, this definition doesn't always hold true. For some groups of people, trauma can occur frequently and become part of the common human experience. In our society, trauma has generally been viewed as a 'mental health' problem.
It is the belief of Trauma Resiliency practitioners that trauma is not in the event, and is not a mental health problem. Rather, trauma actually resides in the body and may cause mental health, as well as other, problems.
Trauma Resiliency work bridges psychology and physiology. Developed as a short term model tor professionals in the helping fields, and based upon Genie Everett's Trauma First Aide tm (TFA)* model, Trauma Resiliency teaches hands-on skills that can be used to help reduce the symptoms of acute traumatic stress and to stabilize the nervous system in high arousal and urgent situations. This approach allows for the establishment of a bridge between survival mode and a return to normal functioning. The Trauma Resiliency method works to talk yourself or another person "off the ledge" so that they can be less panicked or anxious, and can receive the help they need.
This interactive workshop will explore the nervous system's role in trauma, differences between cognitive and somatic approaches, why traditional "talk therapy" models are not successful, and the effects of trauma beyond 'mental health'. Participants will leave with the basic skills necessary to help others experiencing responses to traumatizing events, as well as the skills necessary to help themselves as a result of high stress and activating events.
15. Wellness in the Workplace
For: For: Agencies, Organizations, The Workplace
Do you spend hours every day in traffic? Do you sit for most of your workday and end your day sitting on your couch watching television? Are you experiencing aches and pains in your shoulders, arms and back? Recent medical studies suggest that sitting for prolonged periods of time can be as bad for the human body as smoking! In addition, research has linked long periods of siting with a myriad of health ills including obesity and excess body fat around the waist, high blood sugar and increased blood pressure. Too much sitting also appears to increase the risk of cardiovascular disease and cancer. It is very clear from the data that injecting movement in our daily lives is important for good health.
In this workshop, we will lead you in a practice of wellness, which is grounded in restorative practices, including circle work to help with relationships at home and the office. We will teach you mindfulness practices such as breath work, meditation and restorative yoga, in order to set you on a path to greater wellness.

16. Working With Difficult People
For: Agencies, Organizations, The Workplace
Do you work with someone you find difficult? Are you constantly trying to avoid that person, or hide from them? Or, do you find yourself fighting, disagreeing or resisting their ideas on a regular basis? If you answered, "yes" to any of these questions, then, this course is for you.
In this interactive class, you will learn how different communication, learning, personality and conflict styles - including yours - impact your workplace, and how to effectively operate within a multi-style department. You will practice communication techniques, which will enable you to work more effectively with others, even those you find most difficult. You will learn to guide the conversation so that everyone gets "heard" and so that there is greater possibility for everyone to get his or her needs met. Through activities and discussions, you will learn methods to better communicate and, thus, have better outcomes. Be prepared to reflect on your own life experiences and share these experiences with others in a safe and supportive environment.
