Trauma Informed Agency Assessments

Did you know that statistics indicate that 1 in 3 individuals have faced some form of trauma, whether in childhood or adulthood? This fact underscores a vital aspect of professional practice, regardless of your field – hairstyling, massage, real estate, legal, accounting, physiotherapy, dentistry, or medicine. As professionals, we must adopt strategies that avoid re-traumatizing or triggering those we serve.

Symptoms of trauma, PTSD, and Complex Trauma can manifest in unexpected behaviours, sometimes perceived as violence or abuse. Adopting a trauma-informed approach across your workplace isn’t just beneficial; it's the gold standard. Implementing such an approach can significantly enhance the experiences of those with trauma histories, including those who may never disclose them.

Dr. Ann Carrington at Be Conscious specialises in tailoring a trauma-informed model specifically for your unique workplace setting. Our process begins with an in-depth analysis and assessment phase. Based on this, Be Conscious offers several tailored design options for your workplace, allowing you to choose the one that aligns best with your financial and operational needs.

Our collaboration continues beyond there. Be Conscious will work with you and your staff to implement your chosen trauma-informed model. This comprehensive approach may include developing new policies and procedures, making physical environment adjustments, altering workflow models, and providing specialised training for staff and management.

Embracing a trauma-informed workplace isn't just about compliance but cultivating a compassionate culture. This ethos empowers your staff to deliver your core services and demonstrate genuine care for all community members. Such an environment not only reduces the risk of re-traumatization for trauma survivors but also minimises the likelihood of triggering events that could lead to abusive or violent behaviours towards your staff.

In essence, a trauma-informed approach benefits everyone. Contact Dr. Ann Carrington today for a free quote to transform your workplace into a nurturing, trauma-informed environment. Let's work together to make a positive difference in the lives of those you serve.
