Replication / Technical Assistance
When organziations have programs informed by trauma they wish to replicate, we help them develop the materials for their program. We develop "programs guided by a manual" that support clinician training and experience (not recipe therapy!). We also help in the change management process required for implementation.
Our projects include the SPARCS manual, Hillside Family of Agencies Work-Scholarship Program, and Children's Institute program for mothers and children in Shelter Care for DV.
Free Estimates
No two projects are the same. We provide accurate, realistic, and reasonable estimates.
We work to make sure the investment is appropriate and affordable, in some cases, seeking underwriting on behalf of our clients.
