trauma-informed workplace training series
The Trauma Informed Workplace Training Series is a quarterly virtual training and learning space. It is designed for participants to gain knowledge about trauma informed practices in the workplace, connect with other service providers, and bring ideas and inspiration back to their organization. These trainings are open to staff in social service organizations and nonprofits, regardless of program or area of focus. The topics discussed will be especially relevant for those in leadership or supervisory roles, including direct service staff, program coordinators, and human resources managers.
The first half of each two hour meeting will be a training session on a topic related to trauma informed workplaces. Topics may include hiring and onboarding practices, approaches to supervision, providing feedback, and navigating conflict. The second hour will be for discussion, conversation, and sharing wisdom among participants. This is an opportunity to build relationships and seek out insight from others, to share your organization’s successes, and to identify challenges and areas of focus.

What is a trauma informed leader and what does this approach to leadership look like? July’s session of the Trauma Informed Workplaces Training Series will offer an in depth exploration of trauma informed leadership and how to utilize these principles within your program or organization. Participants will learn how, as supervisors, they can support their staff who may be coming into this work with past trauma or lived experience and their role in helping prevent re-traumatization and vicarious trauma. Come prepared to discuss, reflect, and share insights and challenges in a supportive, healing centered space.
