In-Person Training

The WorQshop sessions were excellent. The facilitators worked closely with me to tailor the sessions to meet the learning needs of a range of people at the University. The training went beyond my expectations. The facilitators were gifted in provoking deeper reflections and creating a deeper awareness, by generously sharing their own lived experiences. They provided very useful and thoughtful strategies to get my students to examine their own lenses and biases and to unpack those in a thoughtful and productive manner. Their gentle compassion helped the audience feel safe and engage in difficult conversations. They tailored situational case discussions to help us navigate the situations we face at the University and provided excellent resources for personal reflection and growth. They motivated every single person in the audience to actively engage. The feedback from my group was overwhelmingly positive, with participants indicating that they learned something new and had a better understanding of how their interactions with the gender diverse clients that we serve have an impact and are in need of examination. This was the single most useful training session I have attended, and I would recommend WorQshop without reservation.

We are a private multidisciplinary clinic offering pelvic health physiotherapy, and we recently expanded our services to better support the 2SLGBTQIA+ community. I wanted my staff to take this course to ensure we were providing the most inclusive space possible.
We learned about the trauma the 2SLGBTQIA+ community has experienced and the barriers they continue to face. We also identified areas where we as a business could improve, strategies we can implement, and gained a deeper understanding of why inclusivity matters. This workshop helped us view our work through a trauma-informed lens and recognize that being inclusive is more than how we treat people inside the clinic—it’s also about how we open our doors and represent ourselves before clients even arrive.
For example, our website, social media, intake forms, and the language we use are all ways to build trust before a client walks through the door. That trust is essential for strong therapist–client relationships, treatment compliance, and ultimately, better patient outcomes.
This workshop was invaluable, and we believe every business should experience it. Thank you for equipping us with the tools and perspective to create a truly inclusive space.
