COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS

Within the current structure of services for families and caregivers, it has been my observation over the years,

both as a professional as well as as a caregiver, that identifying and receiving the appropriate service to meet the corresponding need within a reasonable time frame can be challenging, both for the individuals and families, as well as for the professionals.

​

It is therefore important to me to collaborate with community organizations in an effort to meet the needs of parents, families, caregivers, professionals and educators who are supporting someone who has diverse needs.

​

In line with my long term mission at Uni-Diversity, collaborations with community organizations can help make my services available to anyone, no matter their social status, age, race, role or other.

​

I offer several possibilities for collaborations that are available to community organization's personnel, as well as to the community that they service.

workshops
AND TRAININGS

My workshops and trainings are available to community organization staff as well as the communities that they serve.

They are specifically for those who are looking to learn more information and discuss how to practically and realistically address the needs of someone when you are in the role of caring, parenting or educating.

connection
CIRCLES

This collaboration provides opportunities for communities of supporters to sit together and share vulnerability, truth, and ideas combined, with the intention of helping participants feel a little less alone, and a little more prepared to realistically take action and make changes in the day to day reality of supporting someone else.

 consultations
and coaching

Consultations and coaching are for community organization front-line teams who are running programming and looking for ideas and support for how to manage specific situations, including dealing with difficult and aggressive behaviour, using alternative methods of communication, changes in behaviour, inappropriate behaviour, teaching specific skills etc.

autism acceptance

This collaboration provides presentations and workshops specifically for community organization staff and/or their communities who are looking to understand more about what autism is, the real life impact, and individual roles of accepting, interacting and including autistic individuals.

WORKSHOPS
AND TRAININGS

Workshops and trainings are available to both the community organization's staff, as well as the organization's community (parents, collaborators, partners etc.) both in person and online.

Workshop lengths and fees vary, depending on the subject matter and the amount of discussion time you would like included in the workshop.

Four complete trainings are offered specifically for Autism, Human Needs, Alzheimer's, or Non Speaking Individuals.

CONNECTION CIRCLES

The purpose of hosting connection circles is to provide a safe space for the participants of community groups (typically, groups of supporters) to express the true myriad of their emotions without fear of judgement.

With guidance, the group is encouraged to discuss their personal situation, hold space for each other and offer support through ideas and brainstorming when requested.

Connection circles could be offered as a follow up to a workshop or training series, or as a separate periodic themed event.

Length and fees vary based on purpose and subject matter.

CONSULTATION
AND COACHING

These services specifically for the staff of community organizations, provide an opportunity to dig deep into specific situations in which you are meeting challenges, in order to brainstorm outside of the box ideas. The goal is to actively test making changes in the day to day and more effectively meet the ongoing needs in complex situations.  You may receive guidance in clarifying the needs of the participants, and support to apply techinques and interventions in real time, wherever applicable.

AUTISM ACCEPTANCE

This service includes autism specific presentations, workshops and information sessions, available to the community organization staff, students and their community. The information is adapted to various age levels, roles and desired outcome(s).
