NURturant Consulting offers Organizational Development, Mental Health & Psychosocial Support, and English Language consulting services to help individuals and groups maximize their potential and achieve shared goals for a more compassionate world.

Leadership Training: Our program is rooted in the philosophy of servant leadership and emphasizes the importance of leaders collaborating compassionately with their teams to achieve goals. Through interactive workshops and personalized coaching, we give leaders the skills to inspire, motivate and coach their teams, while focusing on the well-being of their team members. Moreover, by integrating the principles of trauma-informed care, leaders learn to create a compassionate environment that helps team members flourish.

Assessment and Strategic Planning: We provide a holistic analysis of your organization’s strengths and challenges while taking a trauma-informed approach to identify and address potential sources of stress within the organizational structure. Through collaborative strategic planning, we work with your leadership team to develop a roadmap that aligns with your vision, mission and goals,, and fosters a culture of trust, transparency, and shared responsibility.

Project Management: We help organizations optimize efficiency while considering the well-being of project team members. We strengthen project managers by helping them learn essential skills to foster open communication, empower team members, and maintain an inclusive project environment. They will also learn how to manage unexpected events and make the difficult yet necessary decisions while maintaining a culture of respect.

Team Building: In building strong, resilient teams, our goal is not just to help organizations prevent burnout among members but more importantly to promote holistic well-being that will help achieve common goals. Through experiential learning and customized activities, we help teams develop trust, enhance communication, and understand each other’s unique strengths. This fosters a collaborative culture that considers the impact of diverse backgrounds and past experiences, creating a safe space for all team members.

Peaceful Communication: We provide teams with the tools to prevent or navigate conflicts with empathy and understanding. By incorporating trauma-informed communication techniques, members learn to approach discussions with sensitivity. Servant leadership principles also guide participants in fostering an environment where open and honest communication is valued, creating a foundation for conflict resolution and mutual support.

MENTAL HEALTH AND PSYCHOSOCIAL SUPPORT (MHPSS)

Our transformative Mental Health and Psychosocial Support programs aim to empower individuals, families, communities, and different community-serving organizations through a focus on compassionate care that begins with oneself and extends to one’s relationship with all other creations.

By combining over 15 years of experience working with communities affected by different disasters and the latest research on mental health and holistic well-being in a variety of contexts, we make sure that the design of our projects are participatory and sensitive to the unique needs of our clients.

With the exception of Psychological First Aid (available in English, Turkish and Filipino), our MHPSS training programs are currently being conducted in English and/or Filipino only. The following can be conducted both in-person and online (Please email us for a unique arrangement for any of the topics if you are a group, government agency, academic institution, or recognized non-government organization.):

Islamic Mental Health and Psychosocial Support: Grounded in a deep understanding of Islamic principles and solid work with Muslim Filipino communities, our Islamic Mental Health and Psychosocial Support training program is designed for humanitarian and healthcare workers, religious leaders, teachers, project managers, and community members seeking to apply an Islamic framework in preventing and/or responding to humanitarian emergencies and in designing and implementing sustainable community development programs. The core principles, guidelines and intervention pyramid being used by international non-government organizations are also discussed in relation to the Islamic framework.

Community-based Mental Health and Psychosocial Support: Acknowledging that there are different communities in need of mental health support, our community-based MHPSS training program is designed for those working in non-Muslim communities. It is tailored to equip community leaders, healthcare professionals, and volunteers with the tools to foster resilience and support mental health within local contexts. Participants will learn the core principles, guidelines and intervention pyramid crafted by the IASC on MHPSS in Emergency Settings, and will be guided in integrating MHPSS into their community programs. It is rooted in cultural competence and community engagement, ensuring a holistic approach to mental health support.

Psychological First Aid: Our program, which is aligned with those of international non-government organizations such as WHO, IFRC, and UNICEF, trains individuals to offer immediate and practical assistance to those affected by extreme life events. Participants will learn to assess needs, provide comfort, and connect individuals to appropriate resources. Emphasizing safety, dignity and respect, this training specifically equips responders with the skills to offer timely and compassionate support during challenging times. We also offer an Islamically integrated psychological first aid training for those responding to the needs of Muslim populations. Our approach has received positive feedback from those trained, and has been integrated into various peacebuilding, conflict prevention and resolution training programs sponsored by both government and international non-government organizations.

School and Workplace Mental Health: Tailored for educators and school staff, employers, and human resources professionals, our School and Workplace Mental Health program addresses the unique challenges of these environments. This training provides strategies for creating safe spaces that promote and protect holistic well-being, recognizing signs of distress, and implementing supportive policies and programs. It also covers the principles of trauma-informed care and social, emotional and ethical learning, which are key for establishing compassionate relationships at home, school or at work.

Short Talks: Aside from training programs, we also offer short talks on well-being and other MHPSS-related topics. While our recent talks have focused on the Islamic perspective on self-care, workplace mental health, human rights and peace, we also give talks that have a more interfaith and/or humanitarian focus, depending on the needs of the audience.
