Creating and Sustaining Healthy
Organizations and Leaders-New York City

Please join NYSCADV and Organizational Trauma and Healing Consultant, Pat Vivian for Creating and Sustaining Healthy Organizations and Leaders in New York, NY.

The nature of an organization’s work directly impacts the culture of the organization. An organization that provides services to traumatized individuals, families, and/or communities is susceptible to becoming a traumatized system, experiencing the cumulative effects of the work itself. These effects become embedded within the organizational system and influence all aspects of organizational life. They take their toll on the health of the organization.

Leaders will have an opportunity to discuss (learn about) the dynamics occurring within their organization, understand their role as influencers of organizational culture, and explore ways they can help their organizations heal and thrive. In this interactive workshop participants will gain new perspectives about organizational health and learn about (new) approaches for identifying and addressing organizational patterns and challenges. Leaders will also have the opportunity to share experiences related to their own self-care and thriving.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND

Executive directors and program directors of New York State domestic violence programs.
