I imagine the journey to find us has been quite an adventure, but now that you are here, I hope you feel part of our community and recognize you are not alone.
Whistleblowers of America and Workplace Promise Institute are the leaders in whistleblower mental health research, advocacy, intervention, and training. WPI is the training and education center for Whistleblowers of America (WOA), a nonprofit organization whose mission is to assist whistleblowers who have suffered retaliation after revealing harm committed against individuals and/or the public during the course of their employment. So, you might be here for peer support, a certification, to mentor, or volunteer. To each of you I have the deepest respect and hope to greet you, either personally or via our network of volunteers. We are a whistleblower led non-profit that is reliant upon the community to be present and engaged, so thank you for reaching out.
We offer a variety of supports that are deeply intertwined;
Three Workplace Promise Institute's (WPI) Certification Pathways;
· Whistleblower Protection Advocate WP-A, recognizes the need to rebalance access to justice and share information among employees who report wrongdoing but suffer from retaliation and its psychosocial effects. The certification is designed to teach peer support skills, develop leadership skills, and cultivate resilience to manage workplace conflict /abuse.
· Whistleblower Protection Mentor WP-M, designed for individuals who want to volunteer with Whistleblowers of America as a mentor. Typically, someone who is deeper into their Whistleblower journey and wants to share their hard-earned wisdom.
· Whistleblower Protection Mental Health Clinician WP-MHC, is for clinicians who wish to work with whistleblowers in their clinical practice.
Educational Certification Verification; in need of documentation of attending our annual conference, or completion of independent hours? Sign in and we will provide documentation and verification.
Non-Clinical Peer Support, all we need from you is to show up ready to try something new, be open to ideas, and vulnerable enough to tell us how we can help you during this Whistleblower journey which can be traumatic. WoA will try to meet you where you are.
Peer to Peer Support - P2P is an evidence-based model that allows people with a shared lived experience to come together, and exchange resources, referrals, and lessons learned in a reciprocal manner. Retaliation and institutional betrayal can be traumatizing, stressful, and depressing so our network focuses on those issues and elements. We cannot give you medical or legal advice, but we can listen, validate, and problem solve together.
Mentors and Volunteers, thank you for being willing to share your lived experience and areas of expertise to strengthen our community and build up our program. I look forward to brainstorming with you, making connections, and thanking you for all the time you have dedicated to making the world a better, safer place while safeguarding the most vulnerable of us.
Despite what brought you here we would like to meet you with a virtual intake, personalizing the discussion and finding the correct path. I look forward to meeting you.
An FYI, we honor and respect your privacy and need for confidentiality, thus we have chosen a HIPPA compliant platform, despite not providing clinical or legal care rather non-clinical peer to peer support, mental health advocacy, training and certifications.
With deep respect,
Christian Greene LICSW, PMH-C, WP-MHC
Education and Certification Chair
