We can convene a one-off workshop or deliver a whole community engagement process.

 

Services we offer include project and communications planning, process and agenda design, development of workshop materials and activities designed to promote inclusive participation, as well as note taking, thematic analysis and report writing.

​

We specialise in facilitating processes that engage a diverse range of people and perspectives and therefore require the ability to work productively with complex power dynamics and negotiate conflict in a safe and ethical way.

​​

Current and recent projects

​

• Delivery of a community consultation process for Stride's Wollongong Mental Health Hub (in partnership with Beacon Strategies)

• Lead facilitation of the consultation process for Anglicare's Shoalhaven Mental Health Hub (for Roses in in the Ocean)

• Facilitation of Murrumbidgee Primary Health Network's regional consultations with local service providers to explore the health needs of people experiencing homelessness (for Beacon Strategies)

We design and deliver tailored workshops, programs and resources to support teams and organisations to more effectively engage lived experience and community expertise and strengthen their capacity for participatory ways of working.​

 

Services we offer include a one-off training session or the implementation of a comprehensive capability building program aligned to context, purpose and readiness for change. 

 

We also provide ongoing advice and mentoring to professionals facilitating participatory processes and administering lived experience engagement mechanisms such as advisory groups.
