Workforce Resilience: What Our Teams are Facing and How We Can Support Them

This session explores how the workforce is being impacted by toxic stress and burn-out. Participants review what happens in the brain during times of extreme stress and how that impacts individual and community well-being and health outcomes. The workshop will then turn its attention to exploring what it truly means to be “trauma informed” and how that work is required on all levels of organizations to support the workforce.
Data for Impact: Innovative Approaches to Use Data for Change
PHI Center for Wellness and Nutrition
During this one-hour interactive and participatory session, the presenters will share techniques to communicate program data, list tips and techniques for visualizing data effectively, and communicate how asset framing and ethical storytelling can help to enhance sharing program successes.
