Creating a Healthy and Restorative Culture: Tools for Team Members (9:00 - 12:00)
Workplace culture shapes how teams work together, support one another, and ultimately impact the people and communities they serve. For those in direct care roles, being part of a healthy, restorative environment helps reduce burnout, increase resilience, and foster stronger connections at work. This workshop explores what it means to contribute to a culture rooted in community, relationships, shared power, and safe spaces. Participants will reflect on their own values, learn ways to support accountability within teams, and practice strategies that create a sense of belonging. The session also includes interactive, hands-on learning opportunities designed to help participants build trust, collaboration, and creativity—skills that strengthen both staff well-being and client outcomes.
Trauma-Informed De-escalation and Crisis Intervention (1:00 - 4:00)
The experiences of a person's past impacts the way their brain and body perceives and experiences situations and events in daily life. This impact can lead to a person experiencing increased stress and heightened response to stressful situations creating a greater potential for crisis. This workshop helps learners understand the impact past trauma or adverse childhood events (ACES) can have on a person's response to stress and their experience of the crisis cycle. Learners will learn ways of interacting with youth or adults during crisis in a trauma informed way, which will support de-escalation verses, increased stress, crisis, and potential for re-traumatization.
