SHIFTING PARADIGMS into 5th GEAR

Contact us about your long term individual and family life coaching needs.  We will provide a detailed explanation of services as well as a fee schedule. 

Empowering  School Campus Advocates for Peaceful Education (E.S.C.A.P.E.).  We will provide a mediator to facilitate a conversation with end agreements (Memos of Understanding) ready to sign within 72 hours.  Parties must be represented by at least one adult.  If for example school personnel and student/family are at odds in the case of a dispute involving discrimination, AGenda Benda can mediate.  The first session is at no charge.  Follow-up meetings are charged at a rate of $70/conference hour, payable prior to the time the conference begins. 

As soon as we secure adequate financial support (read: grant) for this effort, we can provide it more frequently and more broadly. 

Schools or students and their families may request this service, even for circumstances that involve only two students/families, outside of school.  Again, we will provide a detailed explanation of services as well as a fee schedule.

We don't know everything, but we know a lot, especially about services and opportunities local to the Atlanta Metro and Washington, DC metro areas.  We are building a network of service-providers to whom we can directly refer, knowing they will bring their best to bear on those we send.  Granted, with not-for-profits and other businesses, their "best" might not, alone, be sufficient to solve your mental health, medical, spiritual, social or legal needs.  So, we need your feedback every time.  It's one of the ways we "shop" the agencies to learn how different people experience them, and then help the system work better.  It's a circle and you're a vital piece of it.

People on whom we focus resources:

• People of color parenting singly (or any single parent going through a crisis loss regarding their child)
• Masculine-identified women and their immediate families
• Adolescent and Adult Survivors of Bullying (Psychological or Physical) and/or Sexual Assault
• Multiracial children, interfaith or interracial families in Lesbian, Gay, Transgender, Queer and Questioning communities

Because AGenda Benda Justice offers Assessment and Referral service at no charge, we provide few direct (professional) service past the point of referral.  We do, however, contact clients to follow-up. 

Grant and trust support opportunities are certainly here.

We also appreciate volunteers and citizen donations, as transportation costs are a major expense for this category.
