Growth In Practice Assessment
A Strategic Framework for Inclusive, Resilient, and Fair-Chance Hiring
The Growth-In-Practice Assessment (GnP) is a structured, trauma-informed, strengths-based evaluation tool designed for organizations committed to equitable hiring and long-term workforce success.
Built specifically for employers who hire individuals with lived experience, including re-entry from incarceration, recovery from substance use, past trauma, being un-housed, or extended workforce absence - the GnP enables organizations to evaluate candidates holistically, focusing on readiness, resilience, and growth potential rather than past barriers.
This is not simply and assessment - it is a relationship-building framework that aligns hiring decisions with support strategies from day one.
Relational Readiness Tool
A Professional Readiness Framework for Community Mental Health
The Relational Readiness Tool (RRT) is a structured interview and onboarding framework that evaluates professional readiness in the areas that matter most for ethical, culturally grounded practice inside complex systems.
It assesses whether a clinician can:
✓ Interpret behavior through a structural and contextual lens rather than defaulting to deficit-based assumptions
✓ Recognize and name racialized harm and systemic stress when present
✓ Balance institutional requirements with dignity-centered care
✓ Examine the impact of their own power, cultural lens, and professional authority
✓ Adjust practice when misalignment or harm occurs
The RRT does not assess political ideology or personal identity. It evaluates clinical judgment, systems navigation, and relational accountability — competencies directly tied to quality of care and risk management.
