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
