Adult Trauma & Resiliency August 31, 2026
Most adults have experienced trauma—research shows that more than 60% of U.S. adults report at least one traumatic event in their lives. These experiences don’t just affect health; they also influence how people show up at work, in relationships, and in their communities. Yet many trainings stop at awareness without showing how to apply this knowledge. Adult Trauma & Resiliency goes further—helping participants understand not only the personal and professional impacts of trauma, but also how unaddressed trauma drives costly challenges like turnover, absenteeism, strained relationships, burnout, and reduced productivity.
This interactive workshop equips leaders, managers, staff, and community members across all sectors—not just health and human services, with tools to operationalize a trauma-informed approach. Participants will learn how resilience can buffer the effects of trauma and how trauma-informed practices can enhance workplace culture, improve employee retention, strengthen customer engagement, reduce hidden organizational costs, and even improve relationships with loved ones.
By the end of the training, participants will:
- Recognize the prevalence of adult trauma and its human and economic costs.
- Understand how trauma shapes behaviors, relationships, and performance at individual, organizational, and community levels.
- Apply strategies to foster safe, supportive environments that improve employee well-being, customer satisfaction, and personal connections.
- Identify practical steps for embedding resilience and trauma-informed practices into organizational culture and community engagement.
This training empowers participants to rethink how they engage with co-workers, employees, customers, community members, and loved ones—building stronger organizations and healthier communities.
Target Audience: Human Services Professionals and Students, Community Members, Business Owners
