Notes on Resilience
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.

9: The Impact of Trauma with David Dawdy
Listen in on my conversation with David Dawdy, a clinical psychologist, speaker, and certified instructor for SAMHSA's trauma-informed curriculum for criminal justice. We discuss self-compassion, the need to be aware of the impact of trauma, and the importance of being mentally healthy.
Talking to David about trauma and the justice-involved population is always thought-provoking and I walk away feeling informed and grateful for mental health professionals who work so hard to care for the most vulnerable of us. I hope you feel the same after listening to this episode.
David is dedicated to getting the message out about the needs and trauma issues of those involved in the justice system and you can find him on his website JDavidDawdy.com or on LinkedIn.
