SMT was really responsive to my questions and needs, and to customizing a training that met those needs. We had a collaborative relationship of understanding each other's needs and expertise, agreeing on outcomes and approach, and developing content.
SMT is fantastic and easy to work with, were very responsive to our needs, and delivered a wonderful interactive training session chock full of practical tools that our students, faculty, and staff can use when thinking about public health advocacy. We appreciated the pacing of the training session and how interactive it was. The SMT facilitator encouraged participants to think deeply about movement organizing and how they can apply what they’ve learned to their work. The pacing of the session was just right, and the prompts helped encourage participants to engage.
