Seeing this happen to staff, I think the most dramatic difference I thought were in the nonclinical staff and at Amethyst, every staff person could be considered in direct service.
Ever wondered how we can truly change the way we respond to challenging behaviors? This episode of 'Essential Conversations' features an eye-opening chat with Starla Brennan from Amethyst Place. Starla dives into the profound impact of trauma-informed caring, revealing how it reshapes our interactions with those we serve, our colleagues, loved ones, and even ourselves. It's not just about labeling behaviors as 'bad'; it's about maintaining curiosity and compassion to break down barriers of fear and shame.
By fostering trust and understanding, we can build stronger, more supportive relationships. This approach doesn't just benefit those in need; it also offers significant personal growth for caregivers and professionals. So, if you're curious about creating a more compassionate and effective community, this episode is a must-listen.
