Dr. Curry Avery’s workshops are primarily designed for those working with youth, particularly disruptive, impoverished, and/or ethnic minority youth.  She conducts workshops that heighten the awareness of participants on the issue of race and how it impacts one’s interactions with others from different races as well as the level of care one provides to those in need.  She recently developed a model for working with disenfranchised youth.  Dr. Curry Avery has conducted numerous parenting workshops, providing strategies to help parents manage their children. 

Dr. Curry Avery is a sought out speaker for various organizations.  She engages her audience by focusing on the targeted needs of the particular group (e.g., how to appropriately discipline your child, effective communication skills, ways to manage your emotions, etc).  Yet, she touches the individual lives of participants by encouraging them to explore their history, to maintain a sense of hope, and to begin the process of healing.

Dr. Curry Avery facilitates workshops for faith based organizations which have focused on spiritual transformation, prayer, and discernment.  In addition, for many of her clients, it has been essential to merge spirituality and psychology in their treatment for psychological and emotional problems, regardless of their beliefs or religious affiliations. 

Feedback

…your superb organization and skillful interweaving…so uplifting that I would hope some educational institution in the future would have the wisdom to invite you as their graduation speaker.

…extremely effective in reaching a broad audience of participants including parents, educators, counselors and administrators. I received numerous comments on the ways in which your professional work and observations applied to their personal life experience. You also bring passion and humor to your work that is quite engaging.

This interactive thought provoking workshop was very enlightening. It helped participants to examine their belief systems and to learn how various issues impact individuals of color.

I’m so glad I heard your message because my teenager and I are going through a rough time.  I needed to hear not to give up on them.
A.S., Parent

Thank you for that message.  I sometimes lose patience, maybe because I’m old.  I needed to be reminded that I can’t give up on our youth.

Attending the workshops proved to be informative, interesting, engaging and enlightening. For those who have worked with children for many years, several beliefs and practices were reinforced.  Those who are new to the education system, learned new concepts and strategies. Both workshops also introduced educators to new understandings about cultural and psychological differences among the children we work with.
