Ask what happened to a person, not what is wrong with them

Consult-Ed Solutions strengthens the justice field through training, program development and evaluation, for justice-involved individuals and the professionals and systems that serve them.

Three core services, six ways to start

Training, program development and evaluation, plus the shorter formats organizations ask for most.

Our mission

Capacity on both sides of the relationship

We train justice-involved individuals and the professionals who serve them, because practice only changes when both sides of that relationship are supported. The same trauma-informed lens then runs through the programs we help build and the evaluations we carry out.

We work across probation and justice services, substance use treatment, rehabilitative and reentry facilities, and youth-serving systems.

Our vision

Tend the root, and the field changes

A justice field where professionals ask what happened to a person rather than what is wrong with them, and where that one question changes what becomes possible for clients, practitioners and communities.

1

Tend the root

Distress, addiction and offending have histories. We work on the conditions underneath them rather than the surface behavior.

2

Shift the question

What happened to this person, instead of what is wrong with them. One question, asked consistently, changes how a whole system responds.

3

Change the field

Practice that holds after we leave, in the manual, the training calendar and the way staff talk to each other.
