organizations non-profit & public agencies

As a non-profit organization or public entity, we understand that your priority is the quality service of individuals, families or children in your community.  Even if you typically do not service consumers on your premises, your staff can benefit from OneKindWord.

We offer the following to non-profit and public organizations:

  • OneKindWord (workshop)
  • Destinction as OneKindWord Place on our website
  • Consultation in making your organization's environment or services more family friendly -  contact us for more information
  • Tips for parents - on-line links to resources for parents and additional brochures at your locations

At the workshop, your staff will learn how to support families who are in conflict or under stress, and assess child safety.  These skills can easily be applied to all environments, and can be modeled to consumers to enhance their own conflict resolution skills.  OneKindWord may be what your organization needs to build morale and inspire a continued climate of encouragement and respect amongst staff and supervisors.

Tips

Distract the parent's attention away from the child by talking to them. Ask them about anything or compliment them or their child.
