There's a special place in my heart for professionals who work in education and in trauma-serving organizations. This of course includes schools, healthcare, and social service agencies. Most of my professional career has been dedicated to serving trauma survivors and their family members either as a therapist or program director. So, I recognize the toll trauma work can take on direct care staff and managers. If you are concerned about the wellness of your team, or would like to make sure that wellness remains strong, let's discuss how I can facilitate experiences for your staff marked by appreciation, respect, and candor about the sometimes very difficult work we do.
I've received specialized training in exploring ways to resolve challenges particular to Health & Human Service Professionals. This includes Compassion Fatigue (now becoming known as Empathic Strain), Burnout, Moral Distress, and Vicarious Traumatization.

RelateAbility, PLLC brings values of connection, wellness, and empowerment to online platforms for you and your team. Stay connected with teammates in different physical settings. We can explore creative ways of relationship building and team development using a variety of virtual tools. Online meetings can mean much more when we're engaged in conversation, invested in one another, and on track with goals, not just staring at a computer screen waiting for our turn to to talk. Options range from single session workshops to multiple days of program development with a core group of staff.
Before you leave, I invite you to pause and reflect on one way you've demonstrated resilience in the past few days. Remember, sometimes the pausing can feel a little uncomfortable (that's okay) & resilience takes many forms.
