Relational Leadership in Trauma-Informed Care
Spring Cohort: March 29 - April 19
In order for teams to develop effective trauma-informed care initiatives, they need to establish environments where team members feel safe and where secondary traumatic stress is kept to a minimum amongst staff. In this course we will teach participants tools and frameworks to build safer spaces and better maintain their ability to empathize despite the demands on energy, time, and focus.
