Leading with Compassion: Mirna Herrera and Shalise Williams on Trauma-Informed Care

My goal as your supervisor is to help you be well and starting that at the very beginning of the relationship, not only letting people know that stress is normal and crises will happen, but helping them kind of marshal their resources, access and list and be aware of what they need for well-being, and creating a wellness recovery action plan so that when the crisis happens, they are ready and you can coach them through whatever they need for self-care.

Ever wondered how leaders can truly make a difference in the lives of those dealing with trauma? In this episode of 'Essential Conversations', Mirna Herrera and Shalise Williams from University Health Behavioral Health dive into their personal journeys through trauma and recovery. They share how these experiences have shaped their leadership practices, focusing on resilience and trauma-informed supervision. As certified peer specialists, they offer practical examples of how to implement self-care and stress management techniques in everyday life.

Their stories of overcoming homelessness and mental illness add a powerful, personal touch to the discussion. If you're curious about how peer support can transform lives and want to learn more about the role of leadership in fostering well-being, this episode is a must-listen.
