Building resilient staff, teams, and organizations is foundational to creating trauma-informed services. Helping professionals are at risk of experiencing
issues that mirror those of their participants who are facing trauma. Exposure to the harm and adversity in the lives of participants, combined with a stressful
work environment, can have dangerous consequences for the physical and emotional health of those who provide services. Knowledge is the best defense against
burnout, vicarious trauma, and empathic distress.
This training goes further than other self-care trainings by addressing the role of team culture in building healthy programs and also by identifying
the critical elements of health that enhance a person’s experience of and the quality of work.

Description
Building a culture of care for staff, teams, and organizations is foundational to creating trauma-informed and equity-centered services. Exposure to the harm and
adversity in the lives of participants, combined with a stressful work environment, can have dangerous consequences for the physical and emotional health of those
who provide services. This training goes further than other self-care trainings by addressing our individual responsibility to care for ourselves, the role of team
culture in creating wellbeing for staff, and the organizational guardrails that are needed to help people thrive. A healthy, healing-centered team culture is a
protective factor that helps prevent burnout, vicarious trauma, and empathic distress, and creates the opportunity for healing for staff and participants.
In-person training can be provided on-site and requires a cost estimate based on your specific location. Facilitated virtual trainings are offered using Zoom.
Our programs are designed to build confidence and competence by offering opportunities to practice new skills (with activities such as scenarios, reflections,
demonstration/modeling, discussion, role & real play, collaborative whiteboard). Each training includes an
Activity handout that supports the interactions included
in the session, a
Practice Tools handout that supports implementation and continued learning after the training, and a
Slides and References handout of the material
covered. We understand that adult learning requires ongoing practice and we work with organizations to support staff beyond their online, in-person, or virtual
trainings through coaching, practice sessions, and facilitation guides that can be used to encourage continued learning.
