PowerHouse Discussions (Ph.D.) Panels
Overview
We bring together two distinct yet complementary types of expertise: academic knowledge and lived experience. We pair professionals with academic credentials in various fields with individuals who have direct, personal experience—those we proudly recognize as having a "Past History Degree." This unique combination offers a richer, more holistic understanding of critical issues, exploring how people navigate challenges and why traditional clinical or policy-driven approaches may not always yield effective solutions.
Mentorship
Overview
At The Voices of Power, mentorship is not a separate program—it is simply how we do our work.
We believe lasting change happens through authentic relationships. Whether someone is navigating reentry, pursuing personal goals, or looking for support, we meet people where they are and walk alongside them on their journey.
Rooted in lived experience, our approach focuses on building trust, offering guidance, and helping people recognize their strengths and potential. Through everyday conversations, shared experiences, and meaningful connections, we create opportunities for growth, healing, and success.
