See Where We’ve Been Let’s Make the Abstract Concrete. Cross-systems mappings bring together a wide range of participants. We work with participants to develop a clear and actionable map of how individuals flow through local systems. This process allows working partners to create strategic plans for action. Moreover, it helps communities make decisions, allocate funding, and come to agreements based on data. Trainings bring people together to work through a curriculum that is facilitated by our expert trainers. Trainings are developed using adult-learning best practices. Participants can either go on to train other trainers or to use their training to enhance their own work. Our Core Services Our mappings and trainings work to transform your system into one that is more comprehensive and fulfills the needs of individuals served. No system is too large or too small for our facilitators’ extensive experience. We’ve mapped and trained from frontier communities to America’s most populated cities and everything in between.
