Description
In high-pressure social work environments, the line between effective leadership and "draining" management often blurs. This new 3-hour training provides supervisors with a scholarly foundation for shifting from compliance-based oversight to resilience-based leadership. Grounded in Trauma-Informed Care (TIC) and Psychological Safety frameworks, participants will analyze how their leadership patterns impact team functioning and secondary traumatic stress. Through a "Belief Audit" and interactive case studies, attendees will move beyond theory to practice, leaving with at least three immediate resilience-building micro-habits and a personalized leadership action plan.
