Trauma is the physically and psychologically overwhelming impact of an event, experience or system of oppression on a person (or group of people). And it’s not “out there”, it’s in and around all of us. This might show up in our groups as emotional dysregulation, difficulty focusing and escalating conflict. When you bring your awareness to this and design your collective work to be trauma-sensitive from the get-go, you can offer safer, more inclusive collaboration.

In this month’s meet-up, we’re joined by Spring Associate Mo Salomon, a South Africa-based coach supporting human rights workers to strengthen their leadership, emotional resilience and trauma support skills. Mo will share stories and practices from their work, along with a framework to ignite “trauma-transformative leadership”. We’ll also have space to cross-pollinate ideas and explore how to embody this with more intentionality.
