This training was presented
February 7 & March 6, 2024

 

 

 

 

TRAINING MATERIALS & RESOURCES:

 

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.

 

 

TRAINING DETAILS:

The last couple of years have been incredibly challenging for leaders who have supported staff throughout a time of profound societal change. Leaders are trying to achieve the ultimate balancing act by ensuring that they continue to provide necessary services to the public, support their staff with both compassion and accountability, and take care of themselves. 

This workshop series is designed to build on the Trauma-informed Leadership webinar from August 2023 through two intensive deep-dive conversations. Part 1 (February 7) will focus on supporting the individual leader to prepare to do this work, and part 2 (March 6) will focus on supporting leaders to implement this work with their team with a focus on developing safety, trust, and boundaries. In each section, participants will engage in self-assessment and self-reflection activities to identify their areas of strength as well as potential challenges. Participants will be encouraged to share and learn from one another so that they can leave the session with concrete strategies to support their development as trauma-informed leaders.  

 

Learners will: 

  • Define and articulate the four pillars of a trauma-informed leadership approach.
  • Identify concrete strategies that leaders can use to prepare to become trauma-informed leaders.
  • Identify concrete strategies to assist in building safety, trust, and boundaries in their teams.

 

Who should attend: Staff in leadership roles in family resource centers (FRCs), child abuse prevention councils (CAPCs), community-based organizations, and other child- and family-serving systems.
