    While many organizations have embraced using trauma-informed practices, it may be challenging to start implementing trauma-informed workplace policies. Using trauma-informed HR Practices provides a concrete opportunity to embed trust, transparency, safety, and collaboration into everyday practices.

    This presentation aims to:

         1) define trauma- informed care in the workplace,

         2) unpack it's connection to HR practices, and

         3) provide tangible next steps to incorporate in HR practices.

    PRESENTER: Aneesa Holliday-Dingle is a licensed social worker (LSW) for the state of New Jersey where she has provided over 15+ years of clinical social work services to individuals with chronic and persistent emotional and physical care needs.  Aneesa is also an Emotional Wellness Consultant & Training Facilitator with Decolonizing Therapy, LLC.  Her work aims to provide an inclusive and healing space for marginalized communities; ensuring their lived experiences are affirmed and their emotions are validated. It is her belief that when centering healing we must discuss how systems are designed to keep you unwell- from the correlation between PTSD and heavy policing in communities of color, to exploring the connections between health care disparities and environmental racism, ableism, intergenerational trauma, etc. Everything is connected; and as professionals when we refuse to address the impact systems have on creating individual and communal dis-ease we have consciously and unconsciously created an incubator of harm.
