Skills for working with trauma and supporting each other to build resilient cultures.
Many people involved in socially engaged work – activism, human rights defence, and political organising – encounter violence and repression, and the accumulative influence of stresses. This can lead to post-traumatic conditions that exert a strong influence on our wellbeing, our work and lives. Knowing how to work well with trauma, to transform, mitigate and grow beyond it, can be crucial for the longevity of our activism and our groups.
This training will offer the skills and experience to increase your capacity to respond usefully to trauma. IT will help you understand what we need in place so that our groups and organisations can support each other adequately, and build a more resilient culture.
Many people involved in socially engaged work – activism, human rights defence, and political organising – encounter situations which can be traumatising. Learning to work with these experiences is key to creating resilient cultures for social change.
Direct experience of violence and repression, as well as the accumulative influence of stresses, can be traumatising. Post-traumatic conditions can have a strong influence on our wellbeing, our work and lives. Identifying and transforming these tendencies can help us to continue to bring the best of our hearts and minds to our work and lives.
An inability to identify and transform individual and group patterning associated with these issues is a common source of burnout, conflict and dysfunction in our groups and organisations. As such, addressing trauma is a political issue. Unless we learn to work with trauma, repression and violence (both overt and subtle) consistently succeed in blocking meaningful social change. Knowing how to work well with trauma, to transform, mitigate and grow beyond it, can be crucial for the longevity of our activism and our groups.
This training will offer the skills and experience to increase your capacity to respond usefully to trauma. How can we work with our own symptoms and patterns? How can we support others? How can we recognise and transform trauma as it shapes the wider social field? What do we need in place so that our groups and organisations can work well with trauma, support each other adequately, and build a more resilient culture?
