"Root to Bloom" A Healing & Transformative Training Program for Service Providers


*THIS PROGRAM IS A PROJECT OF COMM(UNITY)*

“Root to Bloom” is a training program for community-based service providers to engage in self healing and transformational tools so they can serve the most vulnerable communities at their full capacity

Our program design cultivates the personal power embedded in your roots (ancestry) that help us through our present day challenges and fight for justice. To bloom (thrive) into a future co-created for all, we must work to reclaim this personal power by practicing self love in the form of fierce skill building leadership tools while engaging in traditional collective healing spaces.

This training is for professionals providing direct service to communities in Bay Area schools, youth programs, institutions, family and community services. Service providers such as social workers, therapists, counselors, case managers, educators, & other front line staff that support the most vulnerable communities are encouraged to participate. Comm(UNITY) members as well as our greater community are encouraged to participate

WHAT YOU’LL RECEIVE

Community-based service providers will participate in a dynamic 6-month program that meets both online and in-person throughout San Francisco. Participants that complete the full program will receive a Certificate of Completion in April 2020
