Communities, organizations, or leadership teams begin by reaching out through our website. This stage is about relationship, not transaction. We will schedule an introductory conversation to learn about the community’s context, priorities, and readiness. Outcome: Mutual understanding and confirmation of a good fit.

Before arriving on-site, Patrick and Lloyd dedicate two full days to preparation and relationship-building, which may include:

• Listening sessions with leadership, Elders, and frontline workers (virtual or phone)

• Reviewing community-identified priorities and existing supports

• Co-designing workshop goals, structure, and cultural protocols

• Travel planning and logistics for remote locations

Outcome: A culturally grounded, community-informed facilitation and workshop plan.

Patrick and Lloyd travel to the community and stay on-site for four days or eight days, allowing time for trust-building, depth, and flexibility. Eight days is recommended for Grief & Loss work. The visit may include:

• Community-wide gatherings and small group sessions

• Harm reduction and crisis response workshops

• Healing, reflection, and cultural reconnection spaces

• Meetings with local helpers, leadership, and service providers

• Informal time to listen, observe, and build relationships

Outcome: Shared learning, strengthened local capacity, and community-led action pathways.

Following the visit, Patrick and Lloyd dedicate two days to wrap-up and follow-through, which may include:

• A written or verbal summary of themes, strengths, and recommendations

• Follow-up calls with community leads

• Resource sharing and next-step planning

• Support for sustaining momentum after the workshop

Outcome: Clear next steps and tools the community can carry forward.

Communities may choose to continue working with Patrick and Lloyd through:

• Follow-up visits

• Coaching or advisory support

• Crisis response consultation

• Long-term partnership agreements
