Are you implementing TIC (trauma-informed care) change efforts and finding they aren't resulting in the large scale or organizational change you seek? You are not alone!
Creating a “trauma-informed system” requires significant cultural change. The journey to shifting culture begins with acknowledging that the current functioning in public service (i.e. education, health care, mental health, etc.) compounds survival responses rather than mitigates them. This is reflected in the attitudes, beliefs, habits, and priorities of the system as they pertain to employees and the populations they serve.
Becoming a “trauma-informed system" requires creating conditions that generate psychological safety, nervous system regulation, cooperation, strategic action, and momentum towards change. It's why in the absence of these conditions, many prescriptive and linear approaches to creating systems change fail.
HERE this NOW offers a unique and interactive workshop that provides participants with conceptual frameworks that help change makers understand what it takes to accomplish complex systems change.
Workshop participants learn about complex systems theory, systems phenomena, key considerations in initiating change in a system, adaptive challenges, adaptive leadership, social network theory and tenets of trauma-informed change. Participants reflect on the aforementioned concepts as they relate to the “Self-Healing Communities” framework that revolutionized a county in Washington State.
Intentionally offered in the bucolic village of Hancock, NH, participants will leave this workshop feeling connected, informed, inspired, and equipped to champion trauma-informed change in their respective settings.
