WHAT I DO
DIVERSITY, EQUITY & INCLUSION AT WORK
While we can all agree that racism is wrong, it is important to recognize the systems in which we live and work, that perpetuate the ideals of racism.
My Courageous Conversations training helps employers and employees explore the blind spots, biases and privilege that we ALL carry, how they impact our professional lives and how we can work towards a more equitable and inclusive workplace.
CREATE MORE SPACE FOR TALK THERAPY
Group therapy is just as effective as private therapy and creates space for people to express themselves in front of others without feeling judged. My workshops provide talk therapy for people who may not otherwise have access to social workers and psychotherapy services.
STRESS & MENTAL HEALTH EDUCATION
Circumstantial feelings of fear, anxiety and stress among people within public and private organizations are best managed through consultation with a qualified mental health professional. My Mental Health Education workshop helps managers within private companies learn how to support the mental health of their team members, and leaders within public organizations provide mental health education to the community at large.
Hello! I’m Roxanne Francis, a Registered Social Worker and Psychotherapist.
As the CEO of Francis Psychotherapy and Consulting Services. I support the leadership teams at forward-thinking corporations and organizations to care for the mental health of their staff. Leaders learn how to foster an environment that supports mental wellness.
As a skilled expert on Anti-Black Racism and Racial Trauma, I am an asset to companies and nonprofits looking to respond proactively to issues of racial diversity and inclusion. Along with consulting on structural and policy changes for more equitable workplaces.
With passion and respect, I help businesses and organizations to have difficult conversations. The goal is always to call people in, rather than calling them out.
