Professional Development

The Positive Results Center engages, empowers, educates and re-enforces liberation-centered life skills, personal growth, and effective team-building to develop leaders and thinkers. By doing so, we provide supportive services that build assertive, self-aware, and accountable student and worker bases. Further, these efforts reduce student violence and employee burnout, creates positive home/school/work environments, and enable youth employees with the skills and tools necessary to keep and maintain employment.

We customize our training & workshops to fit the unique needs of each school, organization, team, or community by addressing site and environment-specific challenges, encouraging personal accountability, and enhancing teamwork, trust, collaboration, and individual work-styles and its effect on inter-personal relationships.

Some of our most requested workshops include:

1. Hurt People, Hurt People – Understanding Healthy VS Unhealthy Relationships
Trauma occurs within a broad spectrum of developmental stages, including culture, family and community. We facilitate this series of workshops to unpack childhood and community trauma, identify triggers, understand behaviors caused by trauma , and provide strategies to promotes healthy healing and emotional security.

2. Creating Queer and Gender Inclusive Safe Spaces in Families, Schools, Communities, and Professional Spaces
This workshop is for the families, allies, community members, schools, colleagues and employers of LGBTQ+ people and youth. Our goals are to support people and groups to create safe spaces and a loving, welcoming culture for queer and trans people to participate in, thrive, and feel welcome and included. Discussions cover what LGBTQ+/Queer means; what homophobia is and what social factors contribute to homophobia and heteronormativity; how to heal and move through your personal homophobia or the homophobia that shows up in your home or work environment; what transphobia and the gender binary are, where they come from, show to address it in our hearts and communities, and how to protect trans and non-binary youth. This workshop will help you better love, advocate for, and understand the queer and trans people in your life, and hold you while you unpack and confront what might be getting in the way of that love.

3. Social Media and the Destruction of Relationships:
This workshop covers the general use and intent for social media platforms, how one’s development of positive interpersonal skills can be compromised if they engage in negative cyber practices, and how these behaviors can ruin relationships, prevent healthy collaboration and lead to violence and abuse.
