As a nonprofit leader you can feel the prevalence of individual and collective trauma and adversity in your everyday work. On the surface it shows up as stress, burnout, disconnection, unresolved conflict, and turnover. It impacts critical areas such as building trust with donors, engaging board members, developing the workforce, and impacting the community. While trauma-informed approaches are commonly applied in the helping profession or behavioral health care settings, there are vital principles that can empower you as a nonprofit leader to strengthen organizational health and resilience.
This workshop will explore:
- The unique challenges of high trauma exposure for your staff and teams
- The essential qualities of a trauma-informed leader
- Practical strategies to promote a healthy team or organizational culture
Target audience:
This workshop is relevant to nonprofit board members, executives, staff, and volunteers who serve in a leadership or management capacity. It is particularly timely for nonprofits serving vulnerable populations, yet applicable to all community-based nonprofits.
