Webinar

Reimagining care work with trauma-informed approaches 

Care work can be hard. Every day, workers show up ready to help others, often putting their own needs aside. It can be stressful, exhausting, and sometimes you feel like no one notices all the effort you put in. 

This webinar is about making that work feel a little easier. We will share simple, practical ways to create workplaces where people feel safe, supported, and respected. You will learn trauma-informed and equity-focused strategies from the study “Building Psychological Safety in Care Work” and see how they can be used in any care setting. These ideas are designed to help teams feel stronger, more connected, and able to do their best work. 

Objectives: 

  1. Learn how trauma-informed and equity-focused approaches can make day-to-day work less stressful and more supportive. 
  1. See how leaders and organizations can create a culture that truly supports everyone. 
  1. Discover practical tools and ideas you can use right away to make work safer, fairer, and more positive. 

Outcomes: 
After the webinar, you will have real, actionable strategies to help care workers feel seen, supported, and valued. You will leave with ideas to improve wellbeing, fairness, and teamwork in any care setting, making work not just manageable but more meaningful.

Rosanra (Rosie) Yoon's (she/her) research area focuses on health services evaluation with a particular focus in integrated care for people experiencing structural vulnerabilities, substance use and mental health challenges and trauma-informed cultures of care. Her work also involves building trauma-informed organizational cultures that support workforce psychological safety. Yoon employs participatory and collaborative evaluation methods for system improvement through her Better Together Research Hub. As a nurse practitioner, her clinical area of expertise is in the areas of substance use, concurrent mental health conditions, trauma, and gender-informed care. Bridging between community-based grassroots programs and larger systems -- to collaboratively meet the needs of people and communities -- is a core value that guides her clinical and research work. Her firm belief is that health is achieved through our communities where we all work, live, play and belong.

They stop talking because expressing their thoughts or ideas feels risky. People may hold back because they worry about criticism for their contributions or the way they […]

Every person who walks into your workplace shares the same fundamental human need: to feel psychologically safe. This isn't about individual histories or personal struggles—it's about a basic requirement that affects how all human beings function. From the confident leader making strategic decisions to the newest team member contributing fresh perspectives, psychological safety determines whether your people can think clearly, collaborate effectively, and perform at their best. It's not just about being nice—it's about recognizing and meeting a universal human need that drives performance, innovation, and retention in ways that traditional workplace perks simply can't match.
