Life’s challenges—whether they come in the form of childhood experiences, personal loss, a loss of a job or career, or a major emotional event or a series of events extreme enough to threaten your emotional or physical security —can leave a lasting impact. Often, we focus on and get stuck in the negative effects of trauma, but what if these struggles could also lead to positive transformation in our lives? ​
​
In a professional context, Post Traumatic Growth (PTG) can be a game-changer. It has been for me.
A workforce whose post traumatic growth is supported in the workplace can bring new perspectives, demonstrate resilience in the face of challenges, and mentor others with their stories and emotional intelligence. Leaders who embrace PTG can cultivate a culture of empathy and growth, helping others feel supported in their personal development.
​
While trauma can feel overwhelming and transformative in different ways, PTG reminds us that adversity is not just about resilience—it can be an opportunity to explore new possibilities. The growth that follows trauma can lead to a more meaningful life, enhanced relationships, and a stronger sense of self-- especially important in the workplace in these times of change and uncertainty. Remember that recovery and growth is possible. By embracing the opportunity for change, you can turn adversity into a powerful catalyst for personal and professional transformation- including how you lead others and how you can change the culture of your organization-- Today. ​

I would definitely suggest this to any and everyone. This was a great course that I think all leaders and or employers should have to become a part of these days ... I will be visiting Ms. Dawns website to find more training on this and I have intentions of somehow asking her what I can do to get the word out and try and help her reach that goal of hers by 2031.

Crucial topic to address in our current workplace climate. It is refreshing to see that training in trauma-informed leadership is becoming more accessible.

Just finished the course “Become a Trauma Informed Leader.” Dawn Emerick's material is remarkably current and relevant, touching upon the aftermath of the global pandemic, the great resignation, and the impacts of ongoing national racial and gender inequality/unrest. Highly recommend.

I was so thankful to have taken this course. I came into this course with decent background knowledge of trauma. I felt that the course was a highly valuable learning experience.
Dawn’s course teaches how to develop and apply trauma informed practices to support the mental health & wellbeing of yourself & others.
I highly recommend it!
