Developing a Trauma-Informed Workplace - Dr. Jim Collins

Traumatic events and experiences are more common than we may think and can have lasting effects on a person’s life and health. Trauma can be so widespread that it impacts entire communities. Beyond the physical and psychological consequences of trauma, research shows that trauma can alter a person’s biology and behavior over the course of his or her life. Recognizing trauma and creating trauma-informed environments at work can yield many positive benefits and outcomes.

Thank you. I’m currently working with my HR. I’m an advocate for myself because I was diagnosed with PTSD. They are helping me with reasonable accommodations under the ADA. Their legal liability is forcing them to use trauma informed care. Thank god. I’ve had a really hard time.
