This workshop is for professionals who work with survivors of trauma and for lead staff and administrators working to develop and sustain workers and workplaces that are healthy for everyone. As many of us recognize, providing care and support for survivors of violence, abuse and other forms of trauma can be extremely rewarding, emotionally taxing, or both. Without opportunities and support for processes that actively promote healing, personal growth, and professional development, individuals and organizations are vulnerable to a wide range of dysfunctions and patterned difficulties. This workshop is an opportunity to explore the impact of trauma on workers and organizations and to develop trauma-sensitive strategies for mitigating it and for supporting staff and organizational health.
