Training & Consulting

  • At Helios Heuristic, our training and consulting work uplifts frontline leaders, communities, and systems in transition. We collaborate with a growing network of lived experience experts, facilitators, and technical assistance providers who share our values of equity, recovery, and justice.

  • Whether through community-led trainings, peer workforce development, or national technical assistance initiatives—we bring a culturally responsive, healing-centered, and systems-informed approach to every engagement.

Our Structure

  • Responsibly manage grant-funded projects and private investments

  • Ethically engage a national roster of consultants

  • Maintain transparency, accountability, and mission-alignment in every contract and partnership

  • We also maintain a resource-sharing agreement with our sister organization, Helios Recovery Services, which allows for access to shared tools, software, and infrastructure—without compromising compliance.
