Presentation Description: A trauma-informed culture is set by leadership through how it shares responsibility, engages in transparent communications, sets policies and procedures, and supports employee wellness initiatives. Using the SAHMSA model as a framework, this workshop will take participants through a step-by step-plan to becoming a trauma-informed organization. This highly interactive workshop will explore what needs to be in place organizationally to create a trauma-informed culture and include a gap analysis so participants can determine how to structure their action plan. The intended audience for this workshop is managers, supervisors, and their teams.

1:00 PM - 4:00 PM Workshop: Creating Trauma-Responsive Human Resources Practices
Application required for attendance. Application closes June 17th. See details below.**
Free for member programs. $75 flat fee for programs who are not members. Invoices issued once applications are approved. Space is limited so register early!
Workshop Description: Human resource departments are essential in helping organizations make the shift to being trauma informed as seamless and normative as possible. Developing trauma-informed policies and procedures for both the hiring process as well as for employee retention and satisfaction requires intentionality. Once again using the SAHMSA model, this workshop will take human resource professionals, managers, and supervisors through an evaluation of their organization’s policies and procedures that have the most impact on candidate and employee well-being. The goal of this workshop will be to introduce new ways of thinking about traditional approaches to managing the new hire experience as well as employee performance and well-being. Participants are encouraged to bring their organization’s employee handbooks for review.
