Project Description
Never before in our history has there been such a calling and need to understand the impact of trauma on people in the workplace and in life. Trauma Informed Employee Support (T.I.E.S.) is a program designed to help organizations increase awareness and knowledge of trauma and to guide the development of trauma informed programming for Human Resources and Managerial positions.
A traumatic event can alter a person’s sense of safety, one’s ability to problem solve and make decisions and can adversely impact previously established levels of functioning. By increasing our knowledge of trauma and ensuring that one’s self care and external supports match this understanding, professionals can reduce the risk of re-traumatization and positively influence recovery.
