was most valuable to you?
Information and participation
The Facilitator using our feedback to reinforce important points and material.
I appreciated the small breakout rooms and talking to others about how the content applies to their programs.
The Discussion
Do you see me, Do you hear me, Do you care about me. Don't judge, except people from different background.
Sharing with others for ideas and experiences.
To discover ways to help our foster parents feel heard and validated.
The part where we got into a group and discussed about how we can better serve others by taking time to acknowledge others including staff and clients
I enjoyed the whole training. Loved that it made me reevaluate myself as a supervisor and leader.
Seeing how to move from simply trauma informed to a healing environment. In school they teach us to be trauma informed, so I see how it can be easy to get stuck there.
Hearing from others their thoughts and experiences
The examples of how to apply circle of security in supervision and leadership.
The whole workshop was valuable because it reminded us as leaders to be considerate of what are staff are going through. There were also frequent opportunities for exchange of ideas, which was helpful.
Everything, from the beginning to the end.
All of it!
The dialogue amongst participants and the brain storming of sharing ways in which we can, as leadership, support our staff and encourage trust and relationship.
How to create a safety for others
The Circle of Security and its application with staff
Everything
Quotes were powerful!
The discussion
Taking into consideration work/life balance and its correlation to trauma informed care/responsiveness.
All parts were valuable, I gained a sense of understanding from all points.
