Traumatic experiences influence the people around you more than you may realize. Trauma affects at least one-third of the general population and much higher rates among those with disabilities. If you work with people (and who doesn’t?), it is likely that some have experienced health issues related to traumatic experiences. Many workers face secondary trauma as a result of supporting others. Trauma Informed Perspectives was formed to educate those interested in understanding people who have experienced trauma, in order to facilitate effective teamwork and encourage healthy employees. Is this talk about trauma new to you? Do you know what ACEs are? I learned how to support people who had experienced trauma as they lived with me. I went back and did the research. I start with an introduction to trauma that explains trauma, and why it affects your workplace. If you already understand trauma, but don’t know what it looks like in real life, we can start there. I want to teach you in a way that works for you and your organization. I am getting a lot of feedback from teachers, and our workforce that most trauma training is about facts, and statistics. I teach using stories so that staff have something to hang the information they are learning on. I would love to talk to you about supporting your company, church, school, or anywhere I can help!
It is estimated that at least one-third of adults have a traumatic experience in their history.
Trauma workshops are suggested for:

Sue Shaw offers workshops and speaking engagements across the Midwest and she would love to teach you and your staff about trauma and NEAR (Neurobiology of Trauma, Epigenetics, ACEs and Resilience) Science. Topics include how trauma affects you, where it comes from, and what to do about it. She teaches from hands-on experience and uses stories so that the information is more easily remembered. Training is interactive when possible. Sue recognizes that this material might be difficult for some participants. She makes sure they know that they should do what they need to do to support themselves. Sue also mentors and helps develop processes and systems for organizations to better cope with individuals dealing with the residual effects of trauma.
