Advancing the
Marginalized Workforce

Science-Informed Supported Employment

We promote restorative employment through integrated job skills development involving social and emotional wellness education and coaching, addressing interpersonal competencies, such as emotional self- and co-regulation, and self-advocacy for effective communication.

Our services, which collaborate with technical skills and post-secondary education organizations, complement the development of those skills.

Our approach, rooted in trauma-informed Neuroscience, Epigenetics, ACEs, and Resilience (NEAR) science, fosters comprehensive support for individuals aiming to work and thrive independently in their communities.

Customers find renewed hope in their journey to becoming productive members of society. We provide employability skills training alongside restorative wellness support, aiding individuals in reclaiming their voice, identity, and aspirations, which have often been overshadowed by overwhelming adversities and personal tragedies.

Trauma-Informed Culture

We adopt a trauma-informed approach, recognizing that unaddressed trauma, particularly Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs), significantly impacts individuals' ability to secure and progress in competitive employment.

Our services extend beyond providing job tools, encompassing culturally sensitive programs to tackle the disproportionate toxic stress and historical trauma faced by marginalized groups, including individuals with disabilities, those with justice involvement, LGBTQAI+ individuals, and those from lower socioeconomic backgrounds.

Each engagement with consumers at Each Teach Inc. is guided by trauma-informed principles and restorative justice practices, empowering participants to co-design services. This includes cultivating safe and inclusive spaces through conversational check-ins and ensuring demographic representation on our board for equitable decision-making.

Through intentional collaboration across the care system, we champion integration and streamline service delivery, maximizing support for individuals on their journey to empowerment.

Community Connections

Today, Each Teach Inc. is led by volunteer leaders from diverse sectors, including public health, education, and interfaith leadership. The agency operates under a corporate board model, consisting of unpaid members.

Ad hoc committees are formed based on current issues and decisions, with experts recruited for short-term engagements to provide input and expertise.

Staff actively collaborates with other organizations in the system of care and reentry spaces, such as behavioral health providers, local government agencies, and community-based organizations, to improve access to comprehensive support for consumers in need. Each collaborating agency leverages its strengths to achieve common goals.

This deliberate collaboration results in a Trauma-Informed Healing Ecosystem (TIHE) in Baltimore, benefiting consumers and their families. Service providers involved in a consumer's care understand their occupational goals and long-term wellness needs, supporting their recovery.

TIHE Baltimore ensures ongoing access to comprehensive support for those served, including food, housing, transportation, crisis intervention, behavioral health services, and social support.
