Trauma-Informed Workplace
A trauma-informed workplace offers a culture of safety and compassion, mindfully avoiding re-traumatization. Our understanding of trauma is expanded beyond an acute individual experience of trauma to include toxic stress, chronic traumatization, and collective trauma. With this new understanding, leaders and their teams can more effectively build a resilient workforce by acknowledging and effectively intervening in stress and trauma.
