Hey, I'm Chavisa,

It sure is gorgeous outside.  I gifted myself swimming in the Salish Sea yesterday, which was very life affirming. 

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? 

(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).

⚡"People experience almost five traumatic events in their lifetime" (Greer, 2024)

⚡"Trauma is considered a public health crisis due to the frequency and effect trauma has on society (Greer, 2024)

Bio

Chavisa facing forward in nature

Chavisa Horemans, MES, CDC, CTRC

Workers experiencing trauma are a part of our workforce, and, as such, trauma impacts workplaces.

As a Trauma-Informed Consultant, I support professionals in enhancing their communication and leadership skills. I work with individuals and organizations to create empathetic, compassionate, and effective workplaces through a trauma-informed lens.

With a master's degree in social sciences and a graduate diploma in adult education, I bring a deep understanding of the complexities involved in emotionally, mentally, financially, and spiritually draining situations. My services are evidence-based.

My expertise extends to Divorce Coaching and Trauma Recovery certifications, allowing me to deliver tailored, holistic, and comprehensive solutions to my clients. I draw from seven years of experience working with people going through traumatic, high-conflict divorces and helping individuals overcome gender-based violence and hidden abuse, providing a safe and empowering space to heal and recover from trauma.  As a holistic practitioner, I am also training in Reiki energy work.
