“Our entire staff participated in the 4 day “core competencies” training and the popular education approach used in the training strongly valued the knowledge and experiences of each participant, creating a space where trainees can learn from one another, and everyone is included. Our whole team walked away having learned a lot about themselves and issues specific to Buffalo. They also gained a network of strong relationships to begin to dig into their work together and support one another. I would recommend this training to anyone, who has a vested interest in bettering the lives of those in their community.”

“Your one-hour cultural competency presentation was excellent. Many of our volunteers stated that it was not only interesting, but highly informative as well. As a teacher, I am involved in cultural competency workshops every few years. I must say that your presenters were engaging and skilled, and brought more to the table in one hour than I ever expected you could! THANK YOU! I will definitely have you back to train our next set of volunteers!”

“Community Health Worker training has provided our new and existing Medicaid Service Coordinators with a tremendous foundation to provide a variety of supports and services to individuals with developmental disabilities within our communities. CHW training gave us tools to grow personally and as a team to empower those we support to maximize their goals.”
