Following on from our previous discussion at Onlinevents, “Collective Disturbance and Vicarious Trauma Within Organisations”, where we explored some of the signs of organisations that are in distress. We spent our time today exploring some of the steps and strategies that organisations experiencing trauma can take to promote well-being, resilience, and recovery.
Elise Marshall and Norma McKinnon Fathi are co-founders and directors of the social enterprise, Mandala Consultants. Our mission is working collaboratively to nurture resilience and wellbeing within individuals, communities, and organisations; & to support social change. We engage a model of working that merges community development approaches with psychological and physical therapies to develop and deliver trauma informed services, training, and organisational support in the areas of transcultural working, wellbeing and resilience, trauma, vicarious trauma, and social change.
