What We Do

MESE Training and Consulting LLC works with families (parents, foster parents), organizations (schools, social services, juvenile services, hospitals), and professionals (CASA workers, social workers, teachers), to give them the tools they need to help survivors of trauma.

We can help you or your organization to better understand, recognize, and respond to the effects of all types of trauma - with an emphasis on physical, psychological, and emotional safety for both consumers and providers.

We can provide one-on-one trainings, workshops for small or large groups, or individualized consulting for your specific needs.

​We pride ourselves on setting up our partners for success. In delivering skills and competencies with an outcome that focus on the participants and organizations leaving our sessions more thoughtful and prepared to integrate, infuse and use the new skills and considerations with your partners, talent and workforce in providing internal and external stakeholders with the information they need and the tools they seek to make them applicable and practical to those you serve.

We are based in Baltimore, Maryland but are happy to travel for trainings.
