Hi, I’m Erin Fairchild.

I am the founder of Collective Action Consulting.

I work with local and national partners to prevent & intervene in all forms of violence; build healthy organizational culture, policy and practice; promote equitable outcomes for all.

I obtained my Master’s in Social Work from Portland State in 2009, specializing in childhood trauma and anti-oppressive practices. I have supported communities and systems impacted by trauma and turbulence for over 25 years, in roles ranging from:

 

  • Domestic violence child and parent advocate

  • Child protective services worker

  • Parent-child trauma therapist

  • School-based social worker

  • Trainer and curriculum developer

  • National technical assistance provider

  • Program and policy designer

  • Workshop and process facilitator

  • Consultant and coach

  • Violence Prevention Systems Manager for Multnomah County Public Health

  • Strategic and organizational planning

Building a world where everyone gets to thrive at work, at home, and in community is a deep and connected part of my life, and I am so grateful for that.

I love stationery, journaling, podcasts, art supplies, growing flowers, kids, laughing, connecting with people, chocolate cake, swimming in the river, and my incredible community and family.

 

I live in Portland, OR with my partner and our two cats, where I also run a creative journaling and stationery business, Journal As Altar. 


Let’s see what we can do together.
