In addition to our workshops, which equip scientist and researchers with the tools to become advocates on their own, we also offer “coaching” services. Trainees can practice what they’ve learned in our workshops with the support of a public relations coach, and a strategic plan developed between coach and expert.
Our flagship coaching effort is with the Mayday Pain & Society Fellowship, a program that starts with a four-day session in Washington, DC for six fellows who are experts on pain management. We provide ongoing counsel and assistance through in-person meetings and conference calls with the Fellows providing writing, editing, messaging assistance. Fellows are paired with a coach, their main point of contact, but our coaching model includes the support of a team with diverse areas of expertise—media relations, public policy, digital media, etc.—in order to provide the best possible support for whatever activites the Fellows choose to pursue. After the five month coaching period, one Mayday Fellow told us, simply, “I wish I could do this full time.”
