Gun & Lateral Violence Prevention among Black, American Indian and Alaskan Native Men and Boys
The act of committing violence against another person is at its core a failure to empathize and understand a perspective that initially seems unresolvable. To challenge people to see, think, and feel differently about conflict and understand that street violence in many cases is secondary violence is a primary caveat to peaceful resolutions. Dr. Green’s informed perspectives and his multidisciplinary approach to understanding and rebutting the idea of “violence as a remedy” begins with unpacking its origins and how it has sustained as the method of conflict resolution American communities and public and private discourse. To heal you must begin at its root cause and not simply a symptoms approach.
Corporate and Personal Leadership Program
Effective personal leadership begins with an adequate self-assessment of one’s personal experiences, assets, habits and goals. The Academic and Personal Leadership Program creates the opportunity for students to better understand their leadership potential and the styles with which better suit their personal temperament and skillsets. This program includes 5 separate modules over 2 semesters. After successfully completing these entire 5 modules, participants will establish themselves as better more effective leaders at their own respective levels.
Athletic and Academic Resilience Development
Student athletes are introduced to expectations and stressors that require a substantive program to address their unique challenges. While the ability to multitask is a basic expectation of the student-athlete, research from the University of California Irvine suggests that stress is positively associated with the amount of multitasking performed (Wang & Niiya 2014). One third of colleges students drop out of school before their sophomore year. For student-athletes to succeed, measures need to be taken to prepare them for the pitfalls that are endemic to their chosen life course trajectories. Athletic and Academic Resilience Development (AaAR) represents the culmination of decades of meta-analytic, evidence-based practices (EBP) centered on best practices. Dr. Green’s proprietary resilience development program bridges the gap between athletic performance and academic excellence.
While many colleges and universities offer counseling and support and centralized services for student-athletes, research indicates the importance of coaches and their staff members utilizing resources outside of the classroom and athletic departments for a varied and more holistic approach to support.
Coaching Black Athletes in White Spaces
,Understanding the unique needs to Black Athletes that are expected to perform at optimal levels are often overlooked. Coaches and Directors of Athletic programs often believe that sports, as a true meritocracy is the mediator of racial and class differences. To further this misnomer, they use the athletic performance as the metric to assess the overall health of their students. This is not only a mistake but has disastrous effects for the athlete long term. Having black coaches and staff members is not enough.
Dr. Green helps coaches and trainers understand groundbreaking approaches to creating genuinely safe spaces for honest and open dialog while helping athletes to tap into their muted voices without fear.
