Happy Wednesday,

Want to build and support empathy in the workplace to help prevent and mitigate trauma on the job?

Then please join CTIPP’s next Community Action Network (CAN) call (free!) on Wednesday, July 20, 2022, from 2:00 - 3:30 p.m. ET / 11:00 a.m. - 12:30 p.m. PT:

The call will feature Katherine Manning, author of The Empathetic Workplace: Five Steps to a Compassionate, Calm, and Confident Response to Trauma on the Job and the President of Blackbird DC.

Trauma-informed leadership is the key to building productive, resilient, and cohesive organizations. However, balancing the needs of employees, clients, and the organization with compassion and skill is not always easy. We will discuss the importance of trauma-informed leadership and cover the practical steps to build a trauma-informed culture through shifts in how we lead our organizations and ourselves. Through commitment and dedication, we can build a trauma-informed culture for a stronger organization, more productive teams, and a healthier workforce. 

CTIPP will also provide an update on trauma funding in the gun safety legislation (Bipartisan Safer Communities Act) that was just signed into law by President Biden and the latest on U.S. Senate appropriations, as well as trauma-informed policy updates with Capitol Hill staff.

Hope to see you on July 20th!

Your friends at CTIPP
