In the lead up to December, with Christmas parties already starting and end of year deadlines looming, it’s time to think about what trauma-informed leadership means over the holidays. 🧵

A question we get asked a lot is where is the line between someone feeling uncomfortable and someone feeling unsafe. Comfort can be the enemy of innovation. 🧵

Again, just last week, we heard another story of a compulsory workplace resilience program gone wrong. This time it came from a person working in one of the most stressful and at times distressing industries we can imagine. 🧵

One question we get asked all the time is “how do I find out more about implementation science?” Well, there are some great resources out there, but we know it can be difficult working out which theories, models, frameworks and strategies to choose for each individual project. 🧵

Speak with us about how we can help you to use implementation science to avoid project pitfalls.

So much leadership training focuses on resilience. The theory makes sense on the surface: if we can make people more resilient they’ll recover faster from traumatic events and get back to work. The irony? 🧵

In the lead up to World Mental Health Day today we’ve been reflecting on all the conversations we’ve had in the past month about what constitutes real trauma-informed leadership. Although we hope you enjoy your mental health week cupcake it’s time we move beyond awareness raising #mentalhealth 🧵

Happy mental health week 2025! This year’s mental health week theme of “connect for mental health” resonates strongly with us. It reflects @oliviafisher.bsky.social's research on the importance of belongingness and accomplishment for good mental health. link.springer.com/article/10.1...

Maybe we can help. Let’s talk about how trauma-informed leadership coaching can help you to create a work environment that feels comfortable and safe, both for your team members and for you. #traumainformed #leadershipdevelopment #coaching

Research shows psychological safety is strongly related to job satisfaction, performance & employee wellbeing. Trauma-informed leaders build the safety of their teams, enabling creativity and innovation. We can provide you with tools & insight to develop your trauma-informed leadership style.

In 2024 the Queensland Mental Health Commission published the Queensland Trauma Strategy 2024-2029. The first of its kind, the Strategy outlined the responsibility of all workplaces to be trauma-informed. They stressed the importance of upskilling leaders to be able to support their staff #trauma

Have you ever worked in an environment where you felt constantly on edge? At the end of the day, most of us want to go home from work with the satisfaction of a job well done #traumainformedleadership enables this by creating environments where staff feel safe enough to thrive #leadership

Our partners have a combined four decades of experience in the health sector. Together they are passionate about improving quality of life and health outcomes through better designed systems and trauma-informed leadership.

Trauma is the norm. Most Australians have been exposed to major floods, cyclones, bushfires or major storms. Nearly two-thirds of Australians have experienced childhood maltreatment, including more than 40% who are exposed to domestic violence. #traumainformed #leadership

We need evidence-based approaches that view trauma as the norm, not something that happens to an unlucky few. Using universal measures tailored to an organisation's individual context benefits everyone, and means that people who have experienced trauma are not singled out. #traumainformed

All organisations need trauma-informed leadership, not just those traditionally considered high-risk. At Reflexa Consulting our experts in trauma, implementation science and co-design are uniquely positioned to help organisations develop tailored, sustainable interventions. #traumainformed

Implementation science and co-design are the future of health services research. Our partners @oliviafisher.bsky.social and Caitlin Donahoo have extensive experience partnering with health providers, schools, police, not-for-profit orgs, universities & policymakers on high-quality research #impsci 🧪

This research was led by our Partner @oliviafisher.bsky.social and published earlier this year. It attracted so much media and social media attention it now has an attention (Altmetrics) score in the global top 0.2% of all time! 🧪 #impsci www.nature.com/articles/s44...
