This workshop was presented on February 9 & March 9, 2023

 

Training certificates are only available following live trainings or completion of self-paced courses. A certificate will not be provided for review of these materials.

 

 

 

The concept of trauma-informed care has received extensive attention over the last 10 years. Trauma-informed practices have been designated across multiple types of service systems, including child welfare, mental health, juvenile justice, and substance abuse, among others. To date, the primary focus has been on supporting the organization and its employees to utilize a trauma-informed approach with the clientele served. However, considering recent national and global events, a broader trauma-informed leadership approach at an organizational level is warranted.

This workshop series is designed to build on the Trauma-informed Leadership webinar. Part 1 (February 9) will focus on team psychological safety and part 2 (March 9) will focus on building team trust. In each section, participants will engage in self-assessment and self-reflection activities to identify their areas of strength as well as potential challenges in this work. You will be encouraged to share and learn from one another so that you can leave the session with concrete strategies to build safety and trust in your teams.

 

In this workshop, we will:

  • Define and articulate the components of a trauma-informed leadership approach
  • Identify concrete strategies to assist in building psychological safety in their teams
  • Identify concrete strategies to assist in building trust in their teams

 

Who should attend: Staff in leadership roles in family resource centers, child abuse prevention councils, and other child and family-serving organizations.
