Understanding the differences in the personal effects of systemic oppression in both the target (e.g. people of color, women, working class and middle and owning class) and non-target groups (e.g. Whites, men, middle and owning class people);

Identifying institutional racism and other forms of systemic oppression and strategies for change; Identifying culturally relevant programming and clinical approaches to effectively serve people of different cultural groups;

Identifying and changing dysfunctional intra-group and inter-group behaviors both therapeutically and interpersonally.

By integrating Transactional Analysis and Gestalt theory and techniques with other personal and community change models, participants learn concrete strategies for working with culturally different service populations.

Capability 1: VISIONS, Inc. services companies of all sizes. Our consultants and resource consultants are positioned all over the country and bring a wealth and variety of experiences.

Capability 2: Our approach calls upon our thinking, doing and feeling modes. We effectively combine short lectures with experiential activities within a "no-blame" and dual responsibility approach.
Capability 3: Our consultants "walk the walk." Too often are workshops run by some novice to the field who has read quickly and has all the latest language and strategies to impress. Experience has taught us to "walk the walk" before we "talk the talk." Our consultants not only teach, they model for your company how to use the material they teach and further they're skilled at facilitating employees beginning to "walk the walk."
