I support teams to develop, launching, and manage online learning using learning platforms such as Articulate and Ruzuku. Services include:

  • Creating curriculum in draft form

  • Designing curriculum in engaging, ready-to-use online courses

  • Setting up modules, lessons, and learner engagement tools

By handling the planning, creation, and technical setup, I help teams focus on delivering impactful, meaningful programs in their communities.

I'll work with you to build or refine programs that are trauma-informed, culturally aware, and designed with intention.

Our Custom Program Design Services offers customized program design for nonprofits, schools, and community organizations, so you don’t have to build programs from scratch on your own.

IPV Workshops

Our Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) Workshops are interactive and empowering learning experiences designed to build awareness, confidence, and practical skills for addressing IPV. Available both in-person and online, these 1 hour sessions equip participants with the knowledge and tools needed to identify signs of abuse, respond safely and compassionately, and connect individuals with appropriate support and referral resources.

Each workshop explores key topics such as:

  • Recognizing the signs of emotional, physical, financial, and sexual abuse.

  • Understanding the dynamics of power and control in relationships.

  • Understanding why women stay in abusive relationships

  • Responding effectively to disclosures of violence with empathy including coercive control and safety.

  • Referring individuals to community services, shelters, and professional supports.

  • Build confidence when navigating complex situations

Our approach blends education, real-world examples, and guided discussion to build both confidence and competence when addressing IPV in personal or professional settings

Shannon really transformed my understanding of IPV, I know the signs of violence now and understand why it's so hard for women to leave. Very insightful.

I took an antiracism and allyship training Shannon led in 2022. Still remember and use some of what was shared in my practice today.
