Trauma-Informed Workplace Training (TIRT© – Workplace Track)

Our Trauma-Informed Workplace Training equips executives, HR professionals, and managers to design trauma-resilient organizational cultures. Grounded in the AIAER Model™ (Assess • Inform • Apply • Empower • Resilience) and guided by the Ethnotraumatology™ framework, this program moves beyond awareness to systemic change that honors identity, culture, and lived experiences.

What participants will gain:

  • Assess: Conduct organizational assessments to identify trauma triggers, systemic stressors, and their impact on employees and teams.

  • Inform: Build shared awareness of trauma’s effects, including cultural and intergenerational trauma, and provide language for trauma-sensitive communication.

  • Apply: Implement trauma-informed policies and practices that foster safe spaces, accountability, and support across all departments.

  • Empower: Strengthen leadership and peer networks to create inclusive, culturally humble environments where staff feel valued and engaged.

  • Resilience: Establish sustainable practices that improve employee retention, reduce burnout, and enhance workplace wellness and adaptability.

Trauma-Informed Advocate Training (TIRT© – Advocate Track)

The Trauma-Informed Advocate Training empowers individuals, community leaders, and faith leaders to apply trauma-solutions in everyday life. This program recognizes that resilience must be cultivated at both the personal and community level, especially within Black, Indigenous, and Diverse Ethnic Communities (BIDEC)™. Anchored in the AIAER Model™, participants will:

  • Assess personal and communal needs through a culturally and spiritually sensitive lens.

  • Inform themselves with trauma-responsive knowledge and practical tools.

  • Apply holistic strategies in relationships, ministries, and service work.

  • Empower themselves and others to navigate trauma and strengthen support networks.

  • Resilience: Sustain practices of self-care, advocacy, and healing that ripple outward to families, organizations, and communities.

This training emphasizes self-awareness, holistic engagement, and cultural humility while equipping participants to embody resilience in both personal and professional contexts.
