Description:

Amidst stress and crisis in our global economy, we seek solutions that support corporate employees, accelerate engagement, and build community. In this ripe climate, trauma-informed care (TIC), a strategic framework for supporting people who have experienced toxic stress, is a rapidly growing social movement. Entire public school districts and healthcare systems are becoming trauma-informed, and Oprah’s new book, "What Happened To You?" is firmly rooted in TIC principles. Internet searches for "trauma" have never been higher, and yet TIC remains novel to corporate leadership.

This session will help leaders thrive through times of crisis by applying the internationally renowned "4 Rs" and "6 principles" of TIC daily workplace operations. It will highlight a case study to teach leaders proven methods that mitigate stress symptoms, establish psychological safety, and bolster employee wellbeing. As a physician and nationally recognized thought leader in TIC, I will share the most simple, actionable steps I have learned in my career that accelerate personal and professional resilience, in the aftermath of the pandemic and beyond. This session is guaranteed to provide valuable takeaways that leave you feeling equipped and energized to lead with resilience.
