2.5hr Online Workshop 

Description: 
Birthwork is hard. Building business tools doesn't have to be. 

To effectively build a website, write educational and promotional materials, and cultivate a professional social media presence, we must have a clear understanding of our BRAND. This process can bring up SO MANY QUESTIONS that then trigger stress & overwhelm:

• How do I stay authentic to myself when feeling the pressure of a million other voices? 
• How do I promote my services when they include offerings in and outside of birthwork?
• Regarding promotion, how do I know what to talk about and to whom?
• How do I built consistency across all my platforms?  
• How the heck do I use social media effectively? 
• Do I need to send out monthly emails?​

Facilitation Format
This workshop will be structured like a think tank- meaning, instead of a prepared slide show presentation, it will be based off the needs of the individuals who show up. Therefore, please come prepared with 3-5 questions you would like answered in a Q&A format.

Description & About the Facilitator:
Richard M. Wright, MA (he, him, his) is a Jamaican New Yorker who lives in Florida. He received his Masters at the California Institute of Integral Studies, where he studied Expressive Arts Therapy. Richard also completed the Healthy Masculinity/ Bystander Intervention training with Men Can Stop Rape. Combining these skill sets, Richard created art-based workshops that foster consent culture and healthy masculinities (of all genders) with movement, drama and play. The interventions develop empathy, integrity, accountability, and a value for our own and each other’s boundaries and humanity. Richard also does speaking engagements that focus on these themes. He is available for consulting on these issues, and brings them into his counseling practice as well. 

In 2017, Richard was published in the very timely,  groundbreaking anthology “Ask: Building Consent Culture,” edited by Kitty Stryker. He also writes self-published pieces that critique current events from an intersectional perspective. As a cisgendered straight man, he strongly believes that it is important for him to be accountable and represent by doing this important culture shifting work towards a paradigm that respects the boundaries and humanity of women, girls, femmes, and everyone else too. 

For this course, Richard will be helping to empower attendees with the tools to foster consent culture and healthy masculinities in their families and communities. It is worthy to note that "masculinity" is not being taught as an identity exclusive to cis-men. We will explore healthy masculinities of all genders. Attendees will leave with these tools, and a fundamental understanding of the systems of oppression that suppress consent culture and healthy masculinity, and how we can rise above that together.
