Julie Johnson:

I am the facilitator of the communication part of our course Driving Social Impact. And today we're going to be talking about the thought that social impact of trauma-informed care what happens or what's do what do we need to do to make this happen? What skills do we need right? To make this a reality, we're going to be going deeper for further down in our course and curriculum. So first, today, we're talking about why are we doing this and what skills do we need to make this a reality to break cycles of systemic abuse?

Julie Johnson:

So the big thing here is is one, we're going to be identifying trauma-informed culture. What does that mean to we're also going to be developing the skills we need to help build that container. And three, we're also going to be identifying ways that we can embed these skills at work, we'll be going that's what this entire course is about is the cord is the skills we need. Whether we're in coaching, training, caregiving, or healthcare, what we need in order to facilitate and build that trauma-informed container.

Julie Johnson:

So first off, what is trauma informed care? The big thing that I love to say is trauma informed care is one acknowledging as a system, what traumas role has in a community of people, and also ensuring in the services that we create, in the ways in which we're responding to each other that we're doing so with care and we're making things accessible, knowing that people are impacted by trauma globally. So it's about providing appropriate programming to a culture of traumatized people. Okay, which after COVID A lot of us are. So why does this matter? So, because a lot of us are impacted by it, we're going to look at the statistics here. Right?

Julie Johnson:

Most of us have been touched by trauma in some way, whether on the spectrum, let's look at some of these statistics here in a second. So here's the data. 40% of men reported having traumatic childhood or acute experiences in their life 60% of women and non binary humans, people, essentially people that are not identified as male report having a traumatic childhood experience. So that's from the Harvard Business Review. That is a pretty astounding statistic. So what that means is there's going to be people in your, in your audiences, and your hospitals in your teams.

Julie Johnson

What are going to be showing up with a trauma response, and how do we work with that? And what's the expectation of that? So that's what we're going to be kind of talking through here today. So the social impact of trauma informed care, so trauma-informed care fosters healthier communities, it can help break cycles of, of harm, okay? So we're by adopting these skills and learning to work on our human-centered communication and our decision-making skills are essentially adopting practices, interpersonal practices, that can build up our capacity to hold space with diverse people and diverse life experiences. So we're looking at humans that are communication and decision-making skills, decisions we make with ourselves that also impact other people.

Julie Johnson

So we're working in two ways today, okay. She means that communication is the shift in our language so people feel seen and heard, and decision making skills or tools we can use to minimize harm to ourselves and others using either chaos mindset, or what I use, which is peer coaching tools. In this course, we're using chaos mindset. In other spaces. You might see me hear me talking about peer coaching tools, but they're all the same tools. Okay? All they all are coming from the same place to help us make better decisions for ourselves with other people. All right. So let's look at what what are these people say over here? Who sustained here's like humans that are communicating. It's okay to feel overwhelmed, consider taking a break. But the next person saying happy to show you so someone's been very supportive right? After saying, How can you make this process doable for you? Your insight is valued. Okay.

Julie Johnson

So we're making things accessible and workable for our situations, right? These are all little just workplace. Examples of ways people can do trauma-informed care without maybe even knowing that. That's to be happier than human-centered communication. It might sound like I understand that this might be difficult for you. Let's take it at a pace that works for you. So all of these are examples of humans that are communicating in our professional spaces. All right, so what's next next week? upskill. Right.

Julie Johnson

So you're going to be going further on in this curriculum in this course, maybe it's in-person facilitation, and you're gonna get those skills you're gonna learn chaos mindset. You might learn some peer coaching tools if you're doing in-person facilitation, and then you're also going to get opportunities to practice those communication skills and the videos you're going to create in this course. Alright, everyone, thank you. So much, and I will talk to you soon
