Chronic Stress & Trauma Exposure in the workplace is a BIG problem

 

Unaddressed chronic stress & trauma exposure in the workplace is a real problem. It can lead to burnout, low morale, poor health, staff turnover, and diminished outcomes for your clients.

Bringing a trauma responsive lens to your organizational culture, equity work, workforce development, and team building can protect employees and help you grow a healthier and more effective organization.

Who is impacted?

 

The short answer is … all of us.

Many of the people I work with are engaged in public service & social justice orientated professions like education, immigration & human rights law, conservation work, social work, mental health, and crisis response.

However, many people, even those not employed in traditional “helping” roles, are still exposed to suffering at work and experience secondary trauma and significant workplace stress.

Many more experience daily stressors. Even if you do not witness suffering at work, you and your team may benefit from a trauma responsive approach to team development.

It’s time to move beyond traditional tropes of wellness and resilience by tackling trauma at the organizational level.
