About Us
Peace in Action is an educational firm providing workshops, classes and programs to help our clients create workplaces that are more open, civil, welcoming, and inclusive. The material was created by two university professors to create safe ways to talk about psychological safety, mental health, wellness, and belonging. We are proud to be a zero waste-to-landfill company.
Our founders, Professors Budd and Scillieri, have over 30 years’ experience in teaching Sociology, Political Science, Philosophy, Gender Studies and Media, through a diverse lens. Professor Scillieri has conducted trainings on LGBT issues and has done advocacy worldwide on issues of gender based violence. Dr. Budd has over 20 years’ experience in institutional assessment and the creation and development of organizational materials, and served as the first Diversity Officer at Seton Hall University.
Our Story
Our approach to training emphasizes understanding, kindness, and zero judgment. We invite our workshop participants to connect their own lives and experiences to our current national debates, and our unique program welcomes all - all - perspectives and encourages people to navigate towards embracing the values of psychological safety. We also work to help participants understand how the values of equality, tolerance, and inclusion help everyone to experience better living and working environments.
​
Our program lengths range from 30 minutes to 1 hour and can be tailored to suit your needs. We can deliver our program in person or virtually, and we provide credentials for completion. Our capability statement is attached, and we would be pleased to offer a complimentary presentation, or an evaluation to determine what kind of training you may need.
