  • 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.

    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.

  • Trauma-Responsive Service Delivery

    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.

  • Understanding Toxic Stress and Trauma

    Featured
    Virtual Convening

    Although everyone experiences stress, there is a point in which prolonged exposure to adversity can cross into trauma. Interpersonal violence, racism, systemic oppression, and/or persistent community neglect can lead to toxic stress and be experienced as traumatic. They can have severe and long-lasting negative effects on individuals and communities. This training breaks down the definition, prevalence and impact of toxic stress and trauma.
