Transforming Stress and Trauma: Fostering Wellness & Resilience (in-person)

Description

This 3.5-hour training was developed for staff working in impacted systems of care, with the goal of moving those systems from being trauma-inducing to become healing organizations. The training focuses on our six trauma-informed principles:

1. Understanding Trauma and Stress
2. Cultural Humility and Responsiveness
3. Safety and Stability
4. Compassion and Dependability
5. Collaboration and Empowerment
6. Resilience and recovery

By creating a shared understanding and language to address stress and trauma, organizations are then better able to serve consumers and support the workforce and begin to move away from blame towards compassion.
