We founded Nascent in order to bring social justice and inclusion initiatives to companies. This has been and will always be our focus, because if we are going to do better as a society, change needs to happen at all levels.

As psychology and social justice-focused consultants, we meet the need for organizations to actively contribute to anti-racism efforts while supporting employee wellbeing.

Our Equity + Inclusivity Services Include:

Virtual Anti-Racism and Social Justice Bootcamps

Our social justice trainings (bootcamps) are based on empirical data and methods developed at Columbia University that we adapted to corporate organizations. Each of our consultants have extensive experience facilitating anti-racism conversations that lead to positive change.

These bootcamps allow employers to provide active opportunities for employees to educate, grow, and heal. Bootcamps can last from one hour to a full day, depending on the resources available. Each bootcamp is run with empathy and an eye toward challenging the status quo.

Bootcamp topics include:

• Learning about Unconscious Bias to Increase Cohesion in the Workplace

• Understanding Identities, Stereotypes, and Assumptions

• Addressing Microaggressions at Work

• Deepening Awareness of Systemic Inequity to Make Teams More Effective

• Developing Diversity-Related Communication Skills 

• Sustaining Anti-Racism Momentum for the Long Term

• Keeping Pace with Evolving Social Justice Concepts like Implicit Bias, Anti-Racism, and Allyship

• Supporting Yourself and Others while Unlearning Injustice

• Developing Resilience and Your Voice as an Ally to the Black Lives Matter Movement

• Unlearning the Impact of Systems of Privilege and Oppression

Virtual Team Roundtables

These roundtables enable smaller group discussion among team members. They facilitate individualized learning, growth, and empathy in a way that also creates greater team connection and cohesion.

These can be run with one to ten individuals and are offered on a one-off or recurring basis.

Management Consultations

We recognize the importance of implementing anti-racist efforts at all levels. That is why we provide consultation to decision makers who are taking action to infuse social justice throughout their organizations.

Consultations can address:

• Hiring practices

• Onboarding procedures

• Programming initiatives

• Leadership coaching

• Inclusive messaging

• General workplace policies and procedures that promote an equitable climate
