Navigating Hate
Overview
As societal and political differences deepen divisions among groups, polarization is worsening. As advocates for healthy communities, we are uniquely equipped to speak to the pivotal role diverse and inclusive environments play in creating the psychological flexibility needed for organizational innovation and thriving; yet, we also confront formidable challenges such as hate, anger, and resistance. This training will explore how to respond to the toll pursuing diversity, equity, and inclusion takes on those seeking justice, and ways to maintain a nonjudgmental framework when others openly judge the values and goals we are attempting to achieve.

Why this? Why now?
In the midst of an increase in hate crimes and acts of violence, questions abound about why these things happen. This training does not seek to answer this why question, but to provide a response, a place to validate that empathy, and to provide skills and resources to equip participants on how to speak up and act in ways that respect others with diverse opinions while also denouncing dehumanization.
What is Artesian Collaborative’s approach to this issue?
Navigating hate-based actions can disrupt our understanding of the world — and naturally, our focus and attention at work. This training provides a space rooted in empathy and care, where participants can decompress, ask questions, and explore the psychology and sociology behind hate-based behavior. By equipping people with tools for value-based action, we aim to offer stability in moments of destabilization.
Our Training Team
As trained mental health professionals, our passion is to help people navigate pain and turn it into growth. Many corporate training programs are great at helping us address the symptoms of tension and conflict, but rarely get to the root of why we feel and act the way that we do. At Artesian Collaborative we believe that tension, conflict and discomfort are not merely problems to be solved. They are opportunities that, when used correctly, can transform our organizations, our relationships and ourselves.
​
As we train your team our primary goals are to:
-
Help your organization build a culture that supports psychological and emotional health.
-
Guide your team through tension and conflict in a way that builds understanding of themselves and others.
-
Facilitate interactive and interpersonal workshops that help teams experience positive interactions in the moment that can serve as a model for healthy organizational culture.
