About Envesti Academy

Learning people remember. Results organizations value.

Envesti Academy is the learning home of Envesti Solutions. We create professional learning for people working in complex, people-centered environments: behavioral health, child welfare and human services.

Our approach

Training should prepare you for the real world

We believe adults learn best through critical thinking, reflection and the opportunity for feedback. We value competency-based education, where learners demonstrate proficiency through real-world application.

Our goal is to develop individuals who are committed to lifelong learning.

  • Make ethical decisions when the answer isn’t always obvious.
  • Deliver more person-centered and culturally responsive services.
  • Apply evidence-informed practices to real-world situations.
  • Understand how trauma, behavior, environment and systems intersect.
  • Build skills that strengthen professional practice and workforce readiness.
