Description: Professionals working in trauma-exposed environments are often trained to care deeply for others while overlooking the impact of that work on their own nervous systems. This live, non-clinical training offers a practical, trauma-informed framework for understanding how chronic stress and trauma exposure affect professional capacity, and how intentional nervous system care can support resilience, clarity, and sustainability. Participants will learn to recognize signs of nervous system strain and integrate simple, realistic tools they can use immediately in their daily work.
