Appreciative Inquiry: A Healing Centered Approach to Student Engagement Workshop
NYC Department of Health & Mental Hygiene - Office of School Health Physicians

For over 100 New York City school physicians and nurses, we facilitated a transformative virtual CME workshop focused on leveraging the power of appreciative inquiry in their practice, both virtually and in-person. This positive psychology strategy emphasizes discovering strengths and successes to foster deeper student engagement during clinic visits. Through our workshop, participants mastered techniques for transcending trauma-focused narratives towards fostering healing and empowerment. They gained skills in establishing a supportive environment where students feel safe to disclose their health concerns, paving the way for enhanced well-being and success in school. This approach not only optimizes healthcare delivery but also contributes to a thriving school community.

Each attendee left with personalized, actionable strategies to cultivate a more inclusive environment at their workplace.

DC Healthy Transitions Initiative Needs Assessment
DC Department of Behavioral Health

In strategic preparation for their SAMHSA-funded Healthy Transitions Initiative for Transition Age Youth we virtually interviewed 28 stakeholders including 11 youth/young adults using an customized appreciative inquiry needs assessment guide. Compiled the data and provided recommendations for system change priority areas. Rather than focusing on the negative and what didn’t work, we focused on strengths, finding the root causes of successes in the system. Recommendations for future systems change emerged. Using an appreciative inquiry guide left stakeholders feeling positive, empowered and hopeful for the future.

Its purpose was to equip stakeholders with the tools and strategies needed to effectively steer discussions and drive positive outcomes for youth transitioning into adulthood across the state. By enabling self-sufficiency in running the meeting, the guide facilitated meaningful dialogue and collective action towards improving transition systems statewide.
