  • “Collaborative Safety’s training got at the core issues we face every day in our work. How we can actually support workers doing difficult work and get to a better outcome for us and those we serve. It feels like the right thing to do to think and operate this way.”


    -Program Director, Minnesota Disability Services Division

  • “I think this will impact frontline workers and how supported they feel. It will help them feel more confident to make informed decisions and follow through with what they feel is in the best interest of their clients.”


    -Manager, Utah Division of Children and Family Services

  • “I like that the process is non-judgmental and allows for learning from the experiences to better serve clients and develop new or changed policies if needed.”


    -Adult Protective Services, Kentucky Department for Community Based Services

  • “With more awareness on the topic, we can start to model behavior, set new standards, and have further conversations to ultimately improve internal business but also this will show through our work with the public and those we serve!”


    -Supervisor, Minnesota Department of Health

    Button

  • “I am new to Child and Families Services Division; however, I worked previously as a law enforcement officer for about 10 years. I definitely understand that culture which is one of blame and offering the sacrificial lamb to slaughter. This model is fantastic to create a culture of openness and transparency (not transparency for the sake of just being transparent for the public) that fosters growth, improvement, and positive change.”


    -Child Protection Supervisor, Montana Department of Public Health and Human Services

    Button

  • “The leadership is particularly excited about the work the department is doing with Collaborative Safety to encourage a transition toward a culture of accountability rather than blame. By shifting the mindset, the department can participate in deeper discussions of underlying, systemic issues to make the workplace better.”
