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 training and workshops individually, tailored to an organization’s needs.

Designing and presenting workshops, lectures, and training sessions is one of the most satisfying 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 activists, 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 White Supremacy, patriarchy, 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 depending 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.
