Who We Serve

We provide comprehensive organizational consulting services to government agencies, healthcare organizations, tribal organizations, private corporations, non-profits, and educational institutions.

The Critical Role of Trauma-Informed Practice

Evolve Equity® services are designed by a licensed trauma psychologist, integrating deep expertise in trauma-informed care with systems-level transformation. We recognize that trauma exists not only at the individual level but within communities, organizations, and systems.

Trauma-informed practice is fundamental to achieving health equity because:

  • It recognizes the widespread impact of trauma across populations

  • It understands the paths to recovery and healing

  • It actively works to prevent re-traumatization

  • It acknowledges intergenerational and historical trauma

  • It integrates knowledge about trauma into policies, procedures, and practices

The Importance of Systems Change

Health equity cannot be achieved through surface-level solutions. Our consulting practice emphasizes the critical importance of systems-change approaches that address:

Historical Contexts and Their Present-day Implications

  • Understanding historical traumas and their ongoing effects

  • Acknowledging systemic barriers and discriminatory practices

  • Recognizing intergenerational impacts

Interconnected Social and Economic Factors

  • Examining social determinants of health

  • Addressing economic barriers to care

  • Understanding community resource distribution

Institutional Policies and Practices

  • Evaluating existing organizational structures

  • Implementing trauma-informed policies

  • Developing equitable practices and procedures

Cultural Competency and Responsiveness

  • Building cultural awareness and sensitivity

  • Developing culturally appropriate interventions

  • Ensuring linguistic accessibility

Sustainable, Long-term Transformation

  • Creating lasting organizational change

  • Building capacity for ongoing adaptation

  • Establishing metrics for success
