Workshop for CalWORKs & CalFresh All Staff

Newly reformatted from our successful online series into a single, immersive in-person experience, this intensive half-day workshop equips participants with both emotional intelligence strategies and insights into systemic trauma's workplace impact. Through interactive exercises and guided discussions, attendees will develop tools for managing triggers while understanding how historical and present-day traumas affect professional environments. Participants will leave with practical skills for fostering more equitable, supportive, and trauma-informed workplaces.

"Unpacking Our Baggage: The Impact of Systemic Trauma in the Workplace" 

Many of us carry heavy bags–and for good reason. This workshop provides the opportunity to “unpack” the collective baggage we carry from historical and present-day traumas caused by systems of oppression. Explore how these traumas manifest in the workplace and why they can't simply be checked at the curb. Through open discussions and reflective activities, we gain insights into fostering a workplace that acknowledges and actively works to mitigate the effects of systemic traumas, promoting inclusion and equity for those who are impacted.

"Triggered: Building Emotional Agility for a Trauma-Informed Workplace"

We have all been there—those triggering moments that hit hard and test our emotional fortitude. This workshop provides tools and methods for moving through triggers. Join us to learn practical EQ strategies to navigate these challenging moments with courage, empowering yourself to be a pillar of support for those around you.
