Workshops | Trainings

Through discussion, lectures, and activities, participants will learn and share information about the topic, each other, and themselves. Additionally, everyone will leave with practical strategies and action steps to incorporate their learning into their daily personal and professional lives.

Irene designs and offers trainings and contracts with organizations to tailor trainings and workshops that are specific to their needs and agency.

Designing and presenting workshops, lectures, and trainings is one of the most satisfying and gratifying parts of my work. Over the past thirty years, I have given hundreds of presentations to mental health, social service and medical providers, educators, non-profit agencies, social justice, and community groups.

I have a casual, relaxed, fun, personable, down-to-earth style, and am known to be organized, thorough, and well-informed. I am cognoscente and inclusive of issues related to privilege, justice, oppression, harm-reduction, access, race, class, ability, sexual and gender minorities, diverse family configurations, misogyny, transmisogyny, cissexism, and heterosexism.

Fees Training fees vary and depend on the type, location, number of participants, format, and length of the presentation. Contact me for fee information. If needed, I offer a reduced rate or free workshops to volunteer, grassroots, and non-profit community groups working on social justice, violence, and oppression issues.
