Embracing Empathetic & Trauma Informed Leadership
$375.00
Dates: January 6 - February 16Credits: 2.25 CEUs or 22.5 PDHs
There is much discussion in the professional world today about the intersection between mental health and workplace culture. Most Americans spend at least 40 hours per week in the workplace setting, which means that work is an integral part of our lives. If any part of our regular environment is toxic, it will have long-term negative effects on our emotional, mental, spiritual, and physical wellbeing.
In every workplace setting, there are common stressors that, when paired with the stressors in employees’ personal lives, and when not supported properly by leadership, can lead to burnout, low productivity, and, ultimately, turnover.
In this course, you will learn why a trauma informed leadership model is important for library leaders, and how to implement the model into every aspect of your role as a leader. You will also learn how to utilize an empathetic leadership approach which is versatile and applicable to all staff personality types and situations.

1. In this course, participants will learn to define: trauma, vicarious trauma, and empathy and how these terms apply specifically to library leadership.
2. In this course, participants will learn how to create an empathetic and trauma-informed workplace environment for all library staff at all levels.
3. In this course, participants will learn how to practice self-care and to seek empathetic support for themselves in their leadership role, so they can effectively implement a trauma informed and empathetic leadership model long-term.
