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.

20: Preparing for a crisis with Kim Guevara
Listen in on my conversation with Kim Guevara, an emergency management and development professional, and founder and CEO of Mozaik Solutions. We discussed emergency management and emergency manager stress, the importance of planning before an emergency to be ready to deal with it when it happens, and the need for policy to help achieve these goals .
In a disaster, people don't rise to the occasion, they sink to the level of their training.
Kim has 25 years of experience in emergency management, homeland security, and development, providing services to all levels of government, the U.S. military, and the private and non-profit sectors. She specializes in stakeholder engagement, and building and enhancing emergency and crisis management programs. Kim is also an adjunct instructor and curriculum developer for the California Specialized Training Institute’s (CSTI) terrorism and intelligence courses.
