The prevalence of trauma means that having access to inclusive, holistic trauma recovery is a spectacular skill set which empowers you to look after yourself, your family and friends, colleagues, and community. Having a trauma recovery skillset is beneficial to your personal and professional life.


This Fall has been busy for The Mother Corp providing a variety of trauma-recovery educational workshops across a range of organizations because no person is immune from trauma and all sectors benefit.


The Mother Corp has had the honour of working with family law teams to improve their capacity to look after themselves and their legal clients.  Litigation processes are frequently traumatic.  Gaining embodied practical trauma recovery skills grounded in neurobiology is an excellent investment in practical skills to safeguard legal practitioners and staff and be able to offer critical care to clients during some of their most arduous life experiences.

Here's what the Portside team shared about their experience:

Our team recently participated in a trauma-informed training workshop with Chavisa that provided valuable hands-on practice. The workshop helped us apply key concepts in real-world situations when thinking about our clients. Chavisa created a welcoming environment for learning…The training was effective and offered useful insights… Our team had many valuable takeaways from the training, including insights on how to assess our office space and make it more trauma-informed, as well as how we can improve our interactions with clients. Thanks, Chavisa!

In line with The Mother Corp's commitment to increase justice, when CHANGIA Africa, a Ugandan Refugee-Led Organization, reached out about gaining trauma recovery skills,  I worked with their team virtually to gain more trauma recovery skills that help them on the ground by looking after themselves as they look after their clients and communities.

Here's what CHANGIA shared about their training:


CHANGIA Africa is a non-profit Refugee-Led organization in Uganda.  We started working with Chavisa because we have experienced more increased cases of Trauma within our Refugee and host community settings, we saw that learning trauma recovery will help our organization to address and help this matter.  Our trauma-recovery education training helped our team gain the knowledge to implement trauma recovery processes and the benefits is that each of our staff knows more about how to address the kinds of trauma that affect our people. We would recommend other leaders or organization to learn this through The Mother Corp to help employees lessen traumatic exposure.  When you are informed lives are saved.

The Mother Corp stems from two commitments: To see justice on earth and as an act of love.


These may not be readily used in professional settings, but they do inform the core intention of The Mother Corp's work to serve and support people impacted by trauma. Data demonstrate that's most of us. Together, we can work to destigmatize trauma and take care of each other.  


Gaining trauma recovery skills grounded in neurobiology helps people feel more capable and able to meaningfully support a person in distress. This knowledge and skill set is an incredibly empowering gift we can give ourselves and our teams.


Our trauma recovery workshops include:

  • evidence-based information

  • basics of neurobiology

  • best practices for trauma-aware spaces and trauma-informed relations

  • situational examples

  • concrete embodied skills

  • and practicing trauma recovery skills

Participants get a thorough understanding of how to incorporate trauma recovery skills into your life and work environment.


If you're interested in learning about trauma recovery for yourself and your team, I offer tailored workshops to meet your needs. Please get in contact to discuss.
