• The ARC Process

    Our interactive courses for groups helps clarify their purpose while creating alignment around their goals and values-even in the presence of competing interests among members.

  • Introductory, intermediate and advanced offerings

    Try out one of our free introductory webinars or do an introduction to basic facilitation skills. Then come on a Prosocial Learning Journey with us. Once you know that Prosocial is for you, join our Prosocial Practitioner Training so that you can do Prosocial with groups everywhere.

  • A global community

    Working together, we can evolve our methods and create positive change on a global scale, starting with single groups and multi-group cultural ecosystems. Prosocial is designed to complement, not compete with, other change methods.

What students say

Chris Barthold

BCBA, Associate Professor and Program Coordinator

"This course was life-changing. It really gets you back to your values and shows you ways to help groups do the same. Highly recommended!:

MATT M PEREZ

COO/Co-founder, Nearsoft, Inc.

"The most valuable thing about this course is to know that I am not alone, there are others out there, at the edge, moving in the same direction. The course material was very helpful, beyond what the PROSOCIAL book offered. Paul did a great job of bringing the material alive and he made it all look easy."

CHLOE SPOERRY

CEO Hivisasa

"Prosocial tools have allowed me to manage a very difficult conflict inside our company. Instead of the conflict damaging or ruining our company, it made us stronger and built better foundations."

Jordan K. Harmon

LCSW

"Throughout my career as a clinical social worker, I've been wondering how to apply evidence based practices at macro levels - you know - to change the world. Prosocial is exactly what I've been looking for - contextual behavioral science converging with evolution science in a practical and actionable way!"

Tibet Sprague

Director of Technology Hylo

"This facilitator training was a well designed and extremely valuable crash course in the powerful ProSocial framework and set of tools for teaching groups to cooperate better. I highly recommend this program for anyone who wants to help their organization or community work together more effectively, and/or wants to level up their ability to be a leader in groups of all kinds!"

Prosocial Learning Journeys and Action Labs

Learn by doing focused on questions that matter.

These will be 8-week flexible experiences built around questions of deep interest to our community like “How can we build more trust and collaboration in our group” or “How can we best decide together”. We will be seeking your input on learning journeys you would like to see offered, and engaging our facilitator community to help bring their expertise to facilitating them. The aims of these experiences will be to a) have a lived experience of what a trusting, prosocial group looks like, b) form a community with a cohort of like-minded social change agents and c) learn and experience the rudiments of Prosocial.

Advanced Prosocial Practitioner Training

Join the global community of practitioners

Prosocial Practitioner Training (PPT): We consistently get feedback that, while participants love the experience of our old Prosocial Facilitator Training, it was very intense. In 2022, we are replacing that training with two separate offerings to cater for different needs. The first is a Prosocial Learning Journey which we expect to call "Experience Prosocial". This will give you a great taste of Prosocial and, for experienced facilitators, will be enough for you to start using Prosocial with groups you care about. You will find this under the intermediate tab. The second offering is a new 6-month, Advanced Prosocial Practitioner Training. If you want to go deep with the practice and build a community of practice with other extraordinary facilitators and consultants this will be the course for you. You will get all the skills and materials needed to run and evaluate your own Prosocial Learning Journeys and Action Labs with groups and topics you care about. You will emerge with a unique capacity to help groups and networks culturally evolve. Being twice as long and with additional content and facilitators, the Advanced Prosocial Practitioner Training will obviously be more expensive than our previous Facilitator Training. We expect that lots of people will find the Learning Journeys and Action Labs meet their needs, and that only those who are keen to devote a substantial amount of energy to consulting or facilitating with Prosocial will choose to go down the route of advanced practitioner training. We won't be offering this training until the second half of 2022 as we work to consolidate the Prosocial Learning Journey/Adaptive Action Lab approach and codesign the advanced course with our facilitator network. So watch this space for more details as we finalize our plans.
