DOMAIN 2: CREATING AND SUSTAINING A SAFE AND SUPPORTIVE CULTURE

Item 7

To what extent is the use of support to address the cumulative impact of trauma exposure normalized in your organization?

Strategies:

  • Create time in the day for staff to engage in peer support.
  • Set aside a central area where information on support is available (either online or offline) and is kept updated.
  • Encourage supervisors to regularly discuss what supports are available to their staff to address STS during supervision, group meetings, etc.
  • Leaders and supervisors should encourage the use of supports and share their relevant experiences related to receiving support to serve as a role model for staff.
  • Ensure information about supports are in places where staff can easily see this information (e.g., posted in the lunchroom, regularly communicated via emails or newsletters).
