Trauma-Informed Emotional First Aid & Burnout Prevention Workshops
Customized Organizational Trainings for Psychological Recovery, Resilience & Collective Care
These workshops provide organizations with the tools, language, and strategies needed to support emotional first aid, psychological recovery, and sustainable wellness across teams. Each training is tailored to the realities of your staff and community, ensuring the work is directly relevant, culturally grounded, and immediately useful.
Before each workshop, you conduct a consultation call to assess the organization’s unique needs, stressors, and goals—allowing you to design a custom-made presentation that reflects their experiences, cultural context, and challenges.
With your trauma-informed, healing justice approach, participants learn how trauma lives in the body, how to respond during emotional activation, and how to move toward recovery while preventing burnout.
What Participants Will Experience
Psychological recovery tools, supporting staff and community members after distressing events, including ICE raids, community crises, or workplace secondary trauma.
Polyvagal-informed strategies to help staff recognize nervous system states and return to safety more quickly.
Regulation and grounding exercises
(e.g., the “voo” breath, orienting, gentle movement) to lower activation and restore balance.
Culturally rooted collective care practices, honoring ancestral wisdom, community resilience, and interconnected healing.
Burnout-prevention frameworks, including stress-cycle completion, boundary setting, somatic release, and practices for minimizing compassion fatigue.
Reflection and integration time, ensuring participants leave grounded, not overwhelmed.
