“Anvita has worked with the Charlie Waller Trust for several years and delivers excellent training on the topic of race and mental health. Participants in educational settings tell us that her training is accessible, participative and challenges people to think differently, without engendering a sense of blame or helplessness. Anvita has also supported the team at CWT with training which has greatly helped us in our work on diversity and equity.  Anvita is knowledgeable, professional, warm and empathetic as a trainer and colleague.
