  • Trauma-Responsive Service Delivery

    Featured
    Virtual Convening

    All human services organizations, regardless of their primary mission – legal services, foster care, elder care, mental health services, housing – can benefit from a trauma-informed approach. Many of the strategies and actions are free and can be effectively used by everyone at your organization.

    During this training, learn what trauma-informed service delivery actually “looks like,” and walk away with specific strategies for “what you can do” and “what you can say” when working with individuals who have experienced trauma.

  • Trauma-Responsive Organizations: Safety and Crisis Management

    Featured
    Virtual Convening

    Every fall, FPWA highlights and addresses different sections of our “Trauma-Responsive Organization Checklist.” During this session, we will focus on Safety and Crisis Management.

    In partnership with Vibrant Emotional Health, we will explore trauma-informed strategies and actions for crisis de-escalation that will ensure safer interactions between human services staff and participants. Attendees will have the opportunity to practice using the CAPE Model for crisis intervention with real-world examples.

  • Staying in Balance: Addressing Workplace Stress

    Featured

Vibrant’s Staying in Balance workshop will help participants gain valuable skills and techniques for stress reduction and burnout prevention. The training also provides supervisors and other leaders with a long-range approach to addressing workplace stress.

  • Workplace Mental Health and Well-being: Connection and Community

    Virtual Convening

    We spend a third of our life at work and yet workplace relationships are the most neglected. Research shows that investing in our relationships at work increases an overall sense of well-being, belonging, and improves teamwork. All of these are important elements to prevent burnout, especially in the human services sector, where workers are constantly exposed to others' experiences of trauma and adversity. So why do we neglect these workplace relationships? In some cases, it's because the pace of the outcomes driven workplaces only leaves time for transactional interactions between peers. In this workshop, we’ll identify some of the barriers to creating inclusive culture. Case studies from Create Forward’s work in cultivating Thriving Cultures will offer practical strategies for strengthening community, connection, and belonging at work.

  • Best Practices for Reflective & Supportive Supervision

    FPWA 40 Broad Street, 5th Floor, New York, NY, United States

    Supervisors across human service settings face many challenges in a changing and dynamic system of care. As the key interface between organizational policies and practices and direct service professionals, supervisors wear many hats and struggle to balance their complex roles designed to promote the mission of the organization and support the success and compassion satisfaction of their supervisees.

    This workshop is designed to provide supervisors with practical and concrete approaches to support their supervisees by: 1) providing supportive and reflective supervision, 2) supporting professional development, 3) managing performance difficulties requiring “courageous conversations”, 4) managing levels of emotional stress and 5) creating a trusting and physically, psychologically and culturally safe work environment that collectively increases compassion satisfaction and workforce retention.
