team Wellness DebrieFS:
Team debriefs provide a safe space for employees to discuss and process their experiences at the workplace. One of the main benefits of debriefing is that it offers healthy coping skills and stress management strategies. It also brings a team together, strengthens relationships, and fosters team learning. Teams who debrief regularly are much more efficient in communication and have a better sense of collaboration.
speaker requests:
I have had the pleasure of speaking at a number of national and international conferences on matters connected to mental health wellbeing, specifically having to do with vulnerable populations and topics such as newcomer integration, gender-based violence, trauma informed practices and self-care.
