Listen in on my conversation with LeRoy Thompson, a DEI and resiliency consultant and pastor. Among the topics we discuss are self-regulation, the hidden cost of stress on productivity, handling trauma, and resiliency as the new version of stress management. LeRoy and I had a thought-provoking conversation and we also discussed how &quot;hurt people hurt people.&quot; To hear more about that from another podcast guest, listen to episode 9: <a href='https://www.buzzsprout.com/2070261/12345660-9-the-impact-of-trauma-with-david-dawdy '>The Impact of Trauma with David Dawdy</a>.

13: Brain break with David Barber

 Conversations about trauma, resilience, and compassion.  How do we genuinely support individuals who have experienced trauma and build inclusive and safe environments? Trauma significantly affects the mental and physical health of those who experience it, and personal resiliency is only part of the solution. The rest lies in addressing organizational, systemic, and social determinants of health and wellness, and making the effort to genuinely understand the impact of trauma.  Here, we ask and answer the tough questions about how wellness is framed in an organizational context, what supports are available and why, what the barriers are to supporting trauma survivors, and what best practices contribute to mental wellness. These conversations provide a framework to identify areas for change and actionable steps to reshape organizations to be truly trauma sensitive.
