WHAT WE DO…AND HOW WE DO IT

As an organization, Empowerment Research, LLC utilizes a participatory approach to its curriculum development and education work and has done so since the original sole proprietorship was established in Arizona in 1984 under our former name, Wattle and Daub. Our approach to the development and delivery of training and educational programs combines strong empirical strategies (e.g. epidemiologic review, secondary data analysis, current literature review, standard formative evaluation methods) with engaging interactions among targeted community members (e.g., client interviews, focus groups, target audience interviews, organizational report reviews) to create meaningful and relevant curricula and educational experiences tailored to the client’s desired outcomes, programmatic needs, and available resources.

Excellent Course!

Excellent course. Much of the information is relatable to clients suffering from PTSD, especially the section on working memory.

Thank You!

Thank you for offering these wonderful programs. I did one of your courses in person years ago and it changed my life. Per your advice, I went to a doctor for head injuries which happened over a decade prior, and finally got help for issues I was dealing with and never understood. I am so grateful for the work you do and the resources you offer. I really do feel empowered and have been working to help others myself. I am definitely going to recommend your courses to my co-workers, who all work with special needs children in a therapeutic riding program. Thank you again.
