Collectively supports organizations and helping professionals in the creation of more equitable practices. We use the E.A.S.E. model, a research-based curriculum that helps participants connect and engage with families and expands their knowledge of the systems that create inequities while offering solutions.
E.A.S.E. Training
Equitable Advancement of Support for Everyone (E.A.S.E) was developed to address this important need and is a competency-based modular curriculum. The core curriculum focuses on assisting professionals in understanding the value of culture as a central component to engaging social support. The training includes structural barriers in the behavioral health field and helps participants understand how these barriers create disparities and poor outcomes. E.A.S.E. incorporates input from families experiencing mental health conditions and how they prefer to have their needs met through less formal treatment options.
