Investing in the mental health of your organization
Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Training
While DEI has become a buzzword in the post-COVID era, Dr. James helps organizations have important conversations that spark real, sustainable action. Emotions can run high, so having a certified mental health professional is invaluable.
Leadership Training Sessions
As an expert facilitator and leader, Dr. James can guide your training sessions to be more insightful, thought-provoking, and inspirational than you thought possible.
Trauma-Informed Organizations
Understanding how trauma affects your staff, clientele, and yourself is essential for being the best you can be. As a Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Clinical Scholar, Dr. James led a novel program brining these ideas to life across schools and communities.
Self Care
Prioritizing the well-being of your organization is one of the most important things you can do. You work hard, and transforming into a culture of wellness takes time and experience that will last a lifetime.
“Dr. Arnold H. James is an invaluable partner in BE NOLA’s Black is Brilliant Institute, where he facilitates powerful sessions that help our educator fellows explore their values and strengthen their sense of purpose.
Dr. James has a remarkable ability to foster an atmosphere of trust, openness, and mutual support… His contributions to the Institute have been instrumental in helping our fellows develop the self-awareness, resilience, and grounding in purpose that they need to thrive as change agents in their classrooms and schools. We look forward to continuing to collaborate with Dr. James.”

“As we mold Black futures, we think it’s important that we come to a fuller understanding of ourselves. During our first convening of the Black Is Brilliant Institute, Dr. Arnold James led us through an individual personal values assessment, making clear to us the ideals that drive our work.
Putting words to these feelings solidifies our purpose, making our worlds feel more concrete. We know that students shine their brightest when bathed in the radiance of an educator who understands their values. Witnessing that authenticity becomes a lighthouse – a beacon – that leads our children towards self-discovery and empowering them to own their own stories.”
