Our agency - a Children's Treatment Centre - initially engaged Diversity Solutions to help us explore Anti-Oppressive Training in the fall of 2013. Dr. Karumanchery’s work with us is giving me and my staff a perspective that is relevant in both our professional and our personal lives. The training was of a very high calibre and staff have been engaged throughout the full 2 days of training. We have a waiting list of staff who want to sign up for the next opportunity to hear what their colleagues have experienced. What staff especially appreciated was all of the real life examples that Leeno gave to help them understand anti-oppressive theory, in particular the way he uses science to explain how the brain works in stressful situations. This was effective in reaching staff whose professional practice is evidence-based, and his teaching style in general seemed to work for all who attended, whether their preference is to learn through listening and or through interactive experience. Learning about equity, diversity and social oppression is especially relevant for an agency that serves families from a broad range of socioeconomic and ethnic backgrounds. We would thoroughly recommend this training to other agencies in the social service, health and human service fields.
