About the workshop

A trauma-informed approach is not just for tenants or clients. Secondary trauma is often a part of the work of helping professionals. As a supervisor, you are in a unique position to build trauma-informed supervisory practices that reduce the risk of re-traumatization, recognize the impact of trauma in the workplace and provide a sense of emotional safety and respect.

This 2-day workshop will begin by identifying trauma-informed principles to help improve your supervisory skills. Facilitators will explore how to approach supervision through a trauma-informed lens that utilizes feedback, self-awareness, and the creation of a safe space in order to increase staff retention and reduce burnout.
