Workplace -Induced Trauma - Building a trauma-informed organization
When you first embarked on your career journey did you ever think you would experience workplace trauma. 2020 was a difficult year for everyone and 2021 hasn’t been any different.

Trauma can be a difficult topic to read about and discuss. However, companies can be proactive in addressing trauma before it reaches a crisis point. It is important to have a common understanding of it in order to prevent, mitigate, and avoid retriggering trauma. The window of opportunity to explore healing and combat traumatic experiences is NOW. Become a Trauma-Informed organization.
