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.

29: Finding balance as a helper with Barry Furey
Listen in on my conversation with Barry Furey, a public safety consultant, trainer, and speaker. We discuss resiliency and the movement toward empathy in the public safety world, the importance of upfront training in public safety about how difficult the job can be, and how to look for the good in the bad.
Barry has more than 50 years of experience in public safety, including being directly responsible for the management of large volume communications centers in four different states, and as a fire officer in three. Now he works to improve the lot of telecommunications and 911 centers.
You can find Barry on his website BarryFurey.com; on Facebook or LinkedIn; and you can reach him via email: barryfurey@yahoo.com.
