What We Do

Healing and accountability rarely happen alone. Instead, people grow, heal, and become more accountable through relationships to friends, family, opportunities, experiences, and through intentional spaces to work with our feelings, beliefs, behaviors and more. We believe that healing and accountability are an ongoing (and for some never ending) series of shifts in how one feels, thinks and behaves, rather than a single static event. Shifts approaches healing and accountability through this lens, that these needed experiences come through building trusting and caring relationships over time. Coming to terms with the harm and violence and transforming how we show up in the world requires the opposite of punishment and shame, it calls for interconnection, deep reflection, and time to unlearn and practice healthier ways of being with ourselves and others. Shifts is one offering towards this larger project of supporting men in being in right relationship with ourselves and the world around us. 

Shifts has two main offerings, both for men who have committed some form of violence. We offer 10 week virtual healing and accountability groups, and one-on-one healing and accountability support.
