Dr. Patricia Fisher, R.Psych., L.Psych. Specialist in Trauma-Exposed Workplaces Co-Executive Director, TEND Academy
Working in high stress, trauma-exposed settings can create an increased risk of negative health outcomes and burnout and can lead to a rise in sick time, low morale, increased team conflict and high turnover. These consequences can, in turn, seriously limit a team’s ability to work effectively and efficiently. This workshop will provide a framework to understand the mechanisms of stress and resilience within trauma-exposed environments and will introduce practical, best-practice approaches to increase resilience and enhance individual wellness and team health.
WTF stands for “Window of Tolerance Framework”. This afternoon training will provide skills to move helping professionals out of states of reactivity or avoidance and into the place of possibility where they are centered amongst the chaos and can choose how they wish to respond. It is ideally suited for professionals who are working with individuals who have experienced difficult and traumatic experiences.
