Webinar Overview
Social connection is essential to well-being, yet growing isolation and loneliness are increasingly affecting individuals and workplaces alike. In youth-serving organizations, these challenges can have a significant impact on staff engagement, job satisfaction, work performance, and relationships with the young people in their care.
This webinar will explore how organizations can intentionally foster meaningful connections among staff through a trauma-informed approach to workplace culture. Drawing on researcFeb 2 Webinar.pngh, staff feedback, and lessons learned through implementation, presenters will share strategies for creating staff appreciation and inclusion initiatives that strengthen relationships, promote emotional well-being, and help reduce burnout and turnover. Participants will explore how investing in staff connection can create a more supportive workplace, enhance employee engagement, and positively influence the quality of care provided to children, youth, and families. Ultimately, when staff feel valued, included, and connected, they are better positioned to build the authentic relationships that make healing possible.
