Hey, I'm Chavisa,
It sure is gorgeous outside. I gifted myself swimming in the Salish Sea yesterday, which was very life affirming.Â
I'm back to start my mornings circling my raspberry bush gathering the ripest berries. I love theory, especially in practice. I got to listen to a webinar recently on the incoming criminalization of Coercive Control, which was a really articulate conversation on the complexity of addressing coercive control. Here's an overview of the topic.
Did you know there is no universal definition of trauma?Â
(Each newsletter will feature a different definition).
"The silver lining of COVID is our increased willingness to speak openly about mental health issues. As a result, trauma-informed care is coming to light." (Psychology Today, 2020)
Prevalence of Trauma
(Each newsletter will feature different data).
âš¡"People experience almost five traumatic events in their lifetime" (Greer, 2024)
âš¡"Trauma is considered a public health crisis due to the frequency and effect trauma has on society (Greer, 2024)
Here are some professionals responses to our trauma-informed workplace survey:
"Trauma-informed approaches are essential in improving workplace culture, it's just not typically implemented in a practically useful way for the employees." (Anonymous Respondent)
