“Enlightening.” “Engaging.” “Thought-provoking.” “Transformative.” These are just a few of the ways people have described Origins Training & Consulting. See how we’ve guided them on their journey to becoming trauma-informed.
I attended Andi’s para-professional training on trauma informed care for two days in Arizona. It was held in a faith based organization that has been decades serving inner city kinds and their families in Phoenix metropolitan area. The whole training was very well organized with her expertise, professional knowledge and skills. I did appreciate her starting the training with the history of Arizona on mental health policies as well as her personal stories. The training also included great clips and exercises that drew the trainees’ continuous attention and passionate participation. Lastly she spontaneously took her own break in the middle of the session to show her body moves and postures to let her relax and regulate herself. It was an excellent modeling that I try to use in my training on trauma informed congregation. In addition to her excellent training, Andi has been a great partner to collaborate in our field to train others and advance our networks.
I found Origins took the knowledge to the next level; providing guidance and insight in how to put trauma informed care into practice.
“Two things stand out from that experience of working with Andi and Origins:
- The passion and enthusiasm you have for your work. That came out strongly. There’s no question that you have an immensely satisfying life. Much of it is clearly do to the application of the sciences you study. I can say that, because I have applied nearly everything I learned from your training into my personal, business and social life.
- The other thing is a working knowledge of how to understand myself and others, with all it’s implications.”
Working with Origins was so incredibly easy, and Andi and Lori walked with us every step of the way!
Andi’s enlightening and engaging sessions on Trauma Informed Care raised awareness of our executive leaders and human service professionals throughout our department.
