Creating a Trauma-Informed Workplace, an Infographic
by Sydney Van de Wiel |
This is a brief infographic about trauma-informed workplaces. The infographic is not intended to be comprehensive, rather it introduces the idea of a trauma-informed workplace and provides some concise actions that can help create a safer workplace. I would encourage employers to not only use the suggestions in the infographic, but to continue to learn more about trauma and how to support staff. I designed this infographic because I believe that compassionate, trauma-informed workplaces benefit staff, employers, and clients. I feel passionate about creating healthy communities, and trauma-informed practice is a critical part of that.
