"This Trauma Stewardship training combines information from Laura van Dernoot Lipskey's work with Trauma Stewardship, research from leadership theory for individual action, and information related to crisis and de-escalation to inform how we react to each other. High stress environments can create a trauma response in individuals, organizations and systems.
