Organizational trauma
The different types of trauma exposure that occur within organizations can have a significant and negative impact such as:
- Staff well-being: physical and psychological symptoms may lead to increased stress, burnout, and turnover.
- Organizational effectiveness: can negatively impact team cohesion, communication, and collaboration. Reduces the quality and timeliness of services provided.
- Organizational reputation: can negatively impact an organization’s reputation, deterring potential employees and referral/funding sources.
- Workplace culture: traumatic symptoms tend to a shift worldview, which can alter or damage fundamental beliefs relative to self, others, and systems.
Services are designed to mitigate this impact, and generally include the following components: psychoeducation, self-regulation and co-regulation strategies, and cognitive and somatic processing experiences.
