UB | Trauma-Informed Organizational Change - What Does it Take?
Wednesday, March 15, 2023 (12:00 PM - 1:00 PM) (EDT)
Description
University at Buffalo
Trauma-informed care (TIC) is an organizational change process that requires individuals, organizations and systems to engage in “universal precaution” for trauma: assuming that most individuals have experienced psychological trauma and intentionally responding in ways to reduce the likelihood of doing more harm.
While most organizations and systems are not in the role of providing trauma therapy, they all have opportunity to neutralize workplace and service environments for re-traumatization, while also increasing safety, inclusion and productivity. This webinar will provide an overview of a trauma-informed organizational change framework with examples from the presenter’s work in organizations. Samantha Koury, LMSW, MSW '15, BA '13, is the Co-Director at UB’s Institute on Trauma and Trauma-Informed Care, as well as a trainer and consultant on various projects. She is a graduate of the University at Buffalo School of Social Work and is a current EdD doctoral student at Marymount University.
Samantha has many years of experience working with staff in different agencies, organizations and systems to become more trauma-informed in their work. She is passionate about trauma-informed leadership, workforce wellness and helping organizations and systems plan for, implement and sustain trauma-informed organizational change.
