Organizational Wellness
Build community. Strengthen resilience. Foster sustainability.
Actionable ways to shift culture and support well-being and sustainability in your workplace:
Group Work
Group work in organizational settings is not group therapy, though the processing space is certainly therapeutic. Goals for group work will always depend on and be informed by participants themselves but all group design is rooted in creating non-judgemental spaces for processing the psychic impact of critical work. among participants occupying highly stressful positions in public interest space. Specialties include supporting participants navigating chronic stress and secondary trauma, working within institutions that cause harm, dynamics of identity and power, dependency and collective care.
Training
Assisting leaders in assessing the training needs of their own teams and then bringing the engaging and responsive content to life is a passion. I offer structured, topic-based workshop facilitation or trainings around issues related to employee well-being, specifically secondary trauma/compassion fatigue, trauma-informed advocacy and boundaries, de-escalation, burnout/moral injury, resilience, post-traumatic growth and mental health.
Individual Support
Employers in both the private and public sector are increasingly seeking ways to support the mental health and well-being of their teams. Particularly in work settings where employees are required to engage interpersonally, frequently, for long durations of time with traumatic material, organizations feel a responsibility to supplement high quality supervision and ongoing training with access to mental health support. I offer short-term individual counseling for organizations or firms seeking a more specialized, personal approach to the traditional Employee Assistance Programs (EAPs). Individual employee sessions are a confidential, time-limited blend of supportive counseling, coaching and, as needed, individualized assessment and referrals for longer-term community-based mental health.
