Government

Representing with respect. There is a lot of speculation these days about the efficiency of the Government. The reality is that Government employees dedicate their time and skills to serving the public, often under high-pressure conditions that require professionalism and integrity. Establishing a culture of respect fosters productivity, morale, and trust, ensuring they can effectively carry out their duties for the benefit of society.

Our Approach

Catharsis Productions specializes in meeting today’s Government employees where they are and taking them to where they need to be, while helping them understand that harassment and discrimination are not wrong because they are illegal, they are illegal because they are wrong.

  • We produce innovative, accessible, and research-informed programming that shifts behavior and delivers results.

  • We know each organization brings its own strengths to the table, so we work to fill in the gaps; whether that be consulting, policy review and recommendations, content creation, training delivery, or surveys and evaluations.

  • Part of our overall approach centers on getting past the perfunctory. Any training effort in any subject must speak to the “why” behind it, helping employees understand how it supports their mission and the values they espouse.

  • Catharsis taps into institution values, framing core issues of respect, communication, and intervention as components of these values and prerequisites to trust and function as a team member serving their country.
