Two 60-minute presentations:

Skills for work-life balance

The focus of this class is to get you achieving the life that you want outside of work, which has been proven to be an essential buffer against workplace stressors, including compassion fatigue and burnout.

In this two-part workshop, you’ll gain the skills necessary for achieving peak performance and maintaining a healthy work-life balance. We’ll explore the difference between coping mechanisms and true self-care, and will build new habits that support well-being. You’ll also learn how the brain processes information, enabling you to create effective routines that guard against open information loops and excessive information-seeking. Additionally, we’ll address the silent killers of productivity and cover battle-tested time management techniques to keep your focus sharp.

Trauma-Informed Care Training: Caring for the Caregiver

While professionals are often given tools to work with trauma-affected populations, there is a gap in providing the ongoing support needed for sustainable caregiving. This lack of support contributes to compassion fatigue, vicarious trauma, and burnout among staff, which, in turn, impacts quality of life, increases turnover rates, and diminishes outcomes for patients and clients.

Each 90 minute class is a combination of:

  • Didactic education that you get to process in small groups, which not only enhances the integration of learning materials, it also builds community
  • Community building: by knowing other individuals who work in human services in our community, we build collegiate support, as well as enhanced case management referral support because we know each other
  • Experiential techniques to release stress and tension, and regulate the nervous system

Specifically, this series of workshops will address:

  • Recognizing the signs and symptoms of compassion fatigue, vicarious trauma, and worker burnout
  • Reducing the negative impacts of compassion and empathy
  • Creating a program for sustainable caring
  • Supporting recovery from compassion fatigue and vicarious trauma
  • Supporting growth and resilience

Stuck in Survival: Somatic Experiments Towards Embodied Safeness

Past experiences can shape both behavior and emotional responses in the workplace. Trauma can embed survival patterns in the nervous system, affecting day-to-day functioning and performance. By learning to identify and release these tension patterns, employees can manage anxiety, reduce emotional flooding, and enhance focus and resilience. This workshop explores the foundational science of trauma's effects on the body and nervous system, providing participants with self-regulation skills that support personal well-being and team harmony.

Vicarious Trauma & First Responders

The cumulative toll of acute and/or chronic workplace traumatization – when unaddressed – can develop into PTSD, but is more commonly recognized as: staff absenteeism, diminished enthusiasm and performance outcomes, communication and/or teamwork issues, substance abuse, and suicide risk, as well as reduced quality of life and relationships outside of work.

This workshop features:

  • A guest speaker from a similar professional background who will share about his/her lived experiences of critical workplace incidents that have caused for the nervous system to get stuck on “on” or “off” (or vacillate between “on” and “off”), and their journey to healing
  • Essential information for identifying potential Acute Stress Disorder (the precursor to PTSD) in yourself and your coworkers
  • Strategies for preventing Acute Stress Disorder from becoming PTSD
  • Simple and effective techniques to regulate the nervous system, as a buffer against everyday workplace stressors

This workshop is recommended for: First responders (fire fighters, EMT), LEOs, ER staff, ICU and NICU staff, SART nurses, DVSA advocates, child protection workers, other human services frontline personnel.

It is highly recommended that your organization offers a separate workshop for the partners and family members of your staff, as family members are often the first to recognize the signs and symptoms of vicarious traumatization.
