An interactive experience focusing on the building blocks of healthy dialogue and compassionate empathy, course modules will provide tools to gain knowledge and skills that foster healthy communication with others despite personal differences. Course materials address how healthy dialogue plays a key role in developing and sustaining healthy relationships and provide insight on cognitive, emotional, and compassionate empathy.

This project will also include the creation of a groundbreaking tool kit to allow institutions and organizations across Miami-Dade County to replicate BSATT. Additionally, we will premiere a documentary with insights of each community member's process to increase awareness of the limitations that hinder meaningful progress towards equality and justice in our community.

Camillia R. Comeaux, Sr. Research Analyst ccomeaux@bsrinstitute.org
We provide research-driven technical assistance and evaluation services to organizations that provide direct services to advance public health initiatives and outcomes. BSRI believes that, to have the most profound impact on racial disparities and social emotional health, a CBO must intentionally approach these areas in strategic development and analysis of core program documents as well as have the capacity to develop evaluation plans that incorporate culturally and linguistically appropriate activities, strategies, and evaluation instruments that capture meaningful racial equity goals, community-specific data, and indicators of progress. We are looking to partner with organizations who desire to build their evaluation capacity serving diverse communities to more effectively strengthen their impact and inspire systems level change.

CBC Training Institute
Grief and Bereavement issues are two-fold, affecting both the professionals who provide care and the patient families they serve.  Agency based professionals must be aware of the impact that grief has on their clients, families, and themselves.  Stress resulting from Grief and Bereavement issues may be addressed through skill development and knowledge building, as well as development of resources and support services for those in need.  The CBC is able to design training programs, and loss protocols, that enhance the continuum of care and help to address the needs of medical professionals, interns, clinicians, educators, staff, and the families they serve.  Contact: daniel@childbereavement.org

SFPoC is a collective of thought leaders with a mission to curate and facilitate authentic conversations for healing justice as a catalyst to dismantle individual, institutional, & systemic racism through participatory action, knowledge sharing, and technical assistance to transform systems.

Our vision is to plant the seeds of transformation for personal reflection, truthful storytelling, deep dialogue, and conversations rooted in restorative practice on the journey toward racial healing.

The purpose of our programming is to improve the health and wellness of our communities by directly addressing the critical issue of the impact of racism on us all. In 2020, the Center for Disease Control (CDC) stated, “Racism—both interpersonal and structural—negatively affects the mental and physical health of millions of people, preventing them from attaining their highest level of health, and consequently, affecting the health of our nation.” We at SFPoC have developed an innovative, evidence-based approach to mitigate some of these impacts by utilizing the arts and humanities as catalysts to have conversations about the impacts of racism.

How CQ Supports DEI

For years, the case has been that more diversity equals improved organizational performance. But you can't expect diverse groups to work together effectively and improve performance if they lack the skills to do so. Cultural intelligence (CQ) is the foundation and strategic link that ensures your DEI efforts lead to meaningful and sustainable results. The same holds true for any attempt to create an equitable and inclusive organizational culture.

Everyone has their own definition of DEI. We broadly define it as a ny organizational effort to increase diverse representation and create inclusive, equitable environments. More specifically, we define each of the areas as follows:

Diversity - Working to increase the representation of difference at every level of the organization.

Equity - Actively challenging and responding to individual and systemic biases, behaviors policies and practices to ensure that everyone has fair access to opportunities.

Inclusion - Fostering an environment where people with different identities experience feeling welcomed, valued and leveraged.

The CQ Difference

CQ is the foundation and strategic link to creating diverse, inclusive and equitable work environments.
