"As a director of an organization it has been great to utilize Impact Community Planning Group to facilitate our strategic planning so I can participate with my team versus having to focus on leading. This proved to be invaluable this last time. I was stuck on the design and details of a community project but while Dorothy was laying things out and asking questions, I could finally step back and see various options to follow and share with the group to make a decision. Exactly what I needed."

How We Can Assist
Competency-Based Training
Competency-based training focuses on equipping individuals with specific skills and knowledge required for their roles, emphasizing practical application and mastery over traditional educational methods. This approach allows learners to progress at their own pace, ensuring they can demonstrate proficiency before advancing.
Trauma
Trauma refers to the psychological and emotional response to deeply distressing or disturbing events, which can have long-lasting effects on an individual’s mental health and overall well-being. Recognizing trauma is essential for creating supportive environments that facilitate healing and resilience. Gain greater understanding of trauma and how it impacts your work and strategies to recognize trauma.
Cultural Humility
Cultural humility is an ongoing process of self-reflection and self-critique that encourages individuals to acknowledge their own cultural biases and limitations while valuing and respecting the diverse backgrounds of others. This approach fosters authentic relationships and promotes deeper understanding across cultural boundaries, and engaging with others respectfully.
Equity
Equity involves ensuring fair treatment, access, and opportunities for all individuals, recognizing that different people may require different resources and support to achieve similar outcomes. Our team will lead workshops focused on understanding systemic inequalities and promoting equitable practices within the organizations that will level the playing field for marginalized groups.
Cultural Competency
Cultural competence is the ability to understand, communicate with, and effectively interact with people from diverse cultural backgrounds, fostering inclusivity and respect. Our team will provide tools and frameworks for fostering inclusivity, encouraging staff to share their experience and perspectives to build a more culturally competent workforce.
Data Driven Decisions
The process of making choices based on data analysis and interpretation, rather than intuition or personal experience, to enhance organizational effectiveness and outcomes. Our team will introduce key concepts, such as data types and analysis techniques, and guide participants in collecting and interpreting relevant data through hands-on exercises and case studies
