Educational Breakout Session 5: Building Stronger Teams Through Trust

Susan Loynd, Strategic HR Business Advisor, The Richards Group

Almost every team that has exceeded expectations point to trust as the glue that enabled greatness. The objective of this session is to understand the keys to building stronger teams through growing trust. All of us are on a team or multiple teams. Participants will leave this session with a framework of what makes teams more effective and ways to increase team strength, productivity, and trust. The session will be a mix of presentation, facilitation, large and small group discussion, and videos making it a productive, interactive and learning time for everyone!

Educational Breakout Session 6: I can’t self-care my way out of this. Moving beyond self-care to address workplace trauma exposure at the organizational level.

Cassie Gillespie LICSW, University of Vermont

Many professionals are exposed to stress, human suffering, and occupational trauma every day at work. The impact of this exposure can be significant. Nevertheless, many people who work in helping professions have not been supported to address workplace trauma exposure or have only been asked to address it at the individual level with self-care practices. This session will explore workplace trauma exposure and how we can think differently about addressing it at the team and organizational level through collective care practices.
