Empowering Frontline Workers with Real-World Trauma-Informed Training to Support Clients Experiencing Trauma and Complexity
You work directly with people every day.
You can bear witness to very intimate moments unfolding in front of you, exposing you to a wide range of emotional and relational experiences. Your work of creating seamlessness is valued — and it can take a toll.
When clients’ heightened emotions or complex situations happen in your space and area of responsibility, you are expected to maintain professionalism and decorum. Achieving this balance can be challenging and stretch you.
How do you look after yourself while doing frontline work — and bear witness in a way that sits well with your ethics at the end of the day and week?
The more you develop effective skills and techniques, the better you can look after yourself and the people you serve. Protecting yourself — and your team — from secondary and vicarious trauma is essential for your own wellbeing and for maintaining consistent, high-quality services.
The Mother Corp Educational Workshops teach you to identify escalation signs early, intervene effectively to prevent escalation, and use somatic skills to ground and de-escalate challenging situations — for yourself, your clients, and your colleagues.
The Mother Corp Educational Workshops teach you — and your team — to identify escalation signs early, intervene effectively to prevent or support de-escalation, and use somatic skills to ground and support people experiencing challenging situations — including yourself, your patrons, clients, and your colleagues.
