My educational workshops can help improve the mental health of your staff.

I offer workshops for organizations whose staff is dealing with chronic stress and/or engaged in trauma facing work.

Media professionals, human rights workers, public defenders, medical and health professionals, and nonprofit and advocacy professionals are just a few examples of people who are consistently on the front lines of bearing witness to pain, distress and trauma.

Are you part of an organization or professional group that is exposed to trauma or chronic stress?

Doing this work can take its toll, and you may find that it’s hard to escape the reminders of images, words, and experiences that arise on the job.

Often professional cultures encourage us to “power through,” but the science tells us that vicarious trauma is real, and we can’t be effective in our work if we’re not doing well ourselves.

My workshops involve psychoeducation, tools for identifying burnout, traumatic stress, and depression, and actionable strategies and tips for addressing problems in the moment.

I have a decade of experience in higher education, and I’m skilled at turning complex academic concepts into digestible bites.

Given my background and orientation as a cross-cultural professional, I incorporate values of diversity, equity, and inclusion into these conversations.

Lastly, I tailor all of my workshops to the needs of the organization and staff.

What’s the next step?

We’ll begin with a free consultation call where I’ll learn more about the needs of your organization and your goals for the workshop. 

Then I’ll draw up a proposal or scope of work for you, and we’ll move forward if you’re interested.  I look forward to supporting you and thank you for all of the work that you do.

 Frequently Asked Questions
