Grief: the Flip Side of the Trauma-Informed Care Coin
This session will highlight the full definition of trauma beyond ACEs. We will also explore trauma as a loss event and look at how grief shows up and is the normal and natural emotional response to a traumatic event. Research has shown that clients who use substances, or are in recovery programming, have significant grief due to years of accumulating loss experiences. This session will introduce participants to a holistic approach to self discovery and grief recovery.

Compassion Resilience
Are little things making you mad? Do you wish you could just disappear? In the last few years, we have seen burnout flourish and our compassion fatigue grow.
Join Mandi and Heather to embrace our own authentic well-being, learn what we can do as individuals to give ourselves more self compassion, and create a plan that fits each of our lives. We will also dissect our collective burnout and compassion fatigue.
