Move from “Aha!” to action
The Resilience Champion Series build off the concepts in The Basics and supports internal leaders as they continue to develop a culture of resilience and wellness in their organizations and the teams they support. This series consists of six workshops (as well as supporting materials) and equips champions with the skills and tools to lead through a trauma-informed lens. Building on the idea that resilience starts with each of us, the series focuses on developing a shared foundation, exploring leadership concepts, and identifying concrete steps to create and sustain a resilient culture. Practical tips and techniques for integrating wellness and increasing connection are sprinkled throughout the series.

The Basics On Demand is included with this course and is a prerequisite. If you’ve already taken The Basics, you will receive a $50 discount. Email us for details.

Teams are are encouraged to particpate and group rates are available for 5 or more who register together.

Workshop 1 – Setting the Foundation and Defining Your Team
The purpose of this workshop is to introduce the series and establish the foundation for ongoing collaboration. As part of this workshop, we will work with the champion team to reflect on their “why”, create a shared language, and establish a team that includes voices of clients and staff throughout the process.

Workshop 2 – Reflecting on Your Leadership Style
You don’t need a fancy title to be a leader. In this workshop, you will reflect on your leadership style and explore how to bring the principles of a trauma-informed approach to life. As part of this, you will identify your strengths and barriers around connecting, consider how to overcome those barriers, and practice skills to support your role as a resilience champion.

Workshop 3 – Defining Your Values and Vision
The focus of this workshop is on the role of values in building a resilient culture and then using those values as a foundation for building a vision for integrating this approach into your setting. As part of this, you will explore your values and consider how the culture does (or does not) reflect those values.

Workshop 4 – Exploring Your Strength and Needs
The focus of this workshop is on exploring the strengths and needs of your setting, considering different organizational domains, such as leadership capacity, services, clients, policies and procedures, and physical environment. The goal of this workshop is to identify a process to gather information about strengths, assets, what’s working well, and what your organization might do differently to best support staff and serve clients.

Workshop 5 – Creating an Action Plan
The focus of this workshop is on using the needs identified in the previous workshop to define concrete goals for integrating a trauma-informed approach and supporting sustainable culture change. Participants will then translate those goals into an action plan through the process of brainstorming and prioritizing potential solutions.

Workshop 6 – Capstone and Next Steps
The focus of this final workshop is on reflecting on the process of building a resilient culture and making it a reality. In this capstone workshop, participants will synthesize learnings and identify concrete next steps in the resilience-building journey.
