With this new federal administration’s sudden actions – from terminating programs to pushing buyouts – many in the workplace are experiencing fear and anger, a sense of loss, and profound uncertainty.  Many employees are feeling demeaned and unappreciated.  This program will help all levels of employees understand the importance of and engage with grief work and recognize the dangers and “growth opportunities” in separation and loss, trauma, and crisis.  There’s a new mission-critical!  All may need to face the pain of a hazardous present along with embracing past emotional echoes to: a) be resilient in the face of a hazardous work environment and feelings of helplessness and burnout, b) recognize and defuse personal crisis and trauma triggers, and c) rebuild the fire and begin formulating future plans.  The psycho-ecological payoff:  building inner strength and hope through grief work, trust, and creative-collaborative bonds!
