Did You Know?
Watershed Way Training Collective is a 501(c)3 not for profit organization created to bring quality mental health and leadership training to churches, schools, communities, and anyone who desires to grow in empathy, understanding, and effectiveness as they lead and support others. Our presentations and consultation processes bring clarity, empowerment, and healing to all involved.
Why We Do What We Do
Over our many collective years of counseling, teaching, and serving, we have walked with many clients and friends who have been in need of skilled professionals and empathetic witnesses.
Many times, further hurt has come from the help of good people who's heart was intent on providing healing. Not only do we want to provide effective healing, we want to improve the helping process in our communities as well.
And in many cases, over the years, we have simply found a lack of access to quality workshops and events offered by professional trainers. Or, when available, they ask more than many clients can afford. We want to bridge that gap, if needed, and bring quality content to large and small organizations and communities alike.
