During this training, participants will learn the definition of compassion and explore why it matters in the workplace. Included will be experientials to further practice strategies for taking action with compassion.

    Webinar Objectives

    In the demanding world of family and child services, organizational culture is often felt but rarely defined in actionable terms. How can leaders move from simply having a culture to intentionally shaping one that actively supports staff well-being and the consistent use of evidence-based practices?

    This 90-minute, interactive workshop is designed for leaders and practitioners from residential treatment centers, foster care agencies, and other family-serving organizations. We will move beyond theory to provide practical tools for diagnosing your current cultural landscape and strategically aligning it with your mission.

    Using a series of collaborative activities, participants will:
    •Diagnose their organization's culture using a simple, powerful framework to understand underlying values and tensions.

    •Analyze systemic barriers that impact staff fulfillment and can hinder the faithful implementation of proven practices.

    •Craft a compelling, data-driven narrative that connects daily tasks to resources and environmental factors, making the case for effective, evidence-based work.

    •Leave with a starter kit of actionable strategies to foster a more resilient, effective, and intentional organizational culture.
