Finding Balance and Kinship with Albuquerque Area Indian Health Board

Albuquerque Area Indian Health Board (AAIHB) is an Indian-owned and operated non-profit public health organization that offers diverse health promotion and prevention educations programs to tribal communities in New Mexico and the surrounding area. Ayn Whyte, Savannah Gene, and several of their colleagues attended the ToP Network Annual Gathering in Walnut Creek, CA in January, 2020, where AAIHB was recognized as ToP Champion. They sat for an interview with our Communications Coordinator, Andrew Clayton.

ToP Community Welcomes Newly Certified Facilitators

In the days before the ToP Network Annual Gathering, three facilitators completed assessments and became Certified ToP Facilitators (CTFs). Congratulations to Jennifer Allen of Long Beach, CA, Jasmine Jetton-Gonzales of Deerfield, IL, and Diana McCall of Asheville, NC!

Certification is a long journey of skill-building, practice, and reflection. Candidates create and submit extensive portfolios that showcase their competencies and application of ToP methods, get structured feedback from mentors and clients, and are supported by a coach and a community of practice. Upon completion of the final assessment, facilitators are welcomed into the global community of ToP practitioners.

Board Spotlight: Doug Dixon

"When I look at the shift in perspective that I experienced in participating in ICA methods, when I’ve engaged meaningfully with people that are steeped in the practices and principles of ICA, it warms my heart to know that people can be grounded in community, radically caring for one another, and making progress."
