Question:
● What behaviors of current or potential employees, co-workers and/or people you serve have been the most challenging for you?
![Page 19: Strategies for trauma-informed workforceThe current system moves away from healing trauma because it segregates and isolates people in trauma from examples of healthy relationship](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022050101/5f40527d40d9627dc93c2514/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Core value:
● We know people are not to blame for the trauma and stress that impacts them, and that trauma is caused by unjust systems.
● We know resilience is an inner strength in all humans, regardless of background, and we as people are wired for connection and healing.

1. For self-protection: “Overweight is overlooked, and that’s the way I need to be.”
2. Soothing behavior: Eating makes you feel better. Eating soothes your stress, anxiety, fear, anger or depression.

What are often viewed as behavioral problems are often personal efforts to cope (in ways that don’t serve us well) with stress, long concealed trauma.
Trauma responses are often interpreted as problems with employability and soft skills.

Takeaway:
● Resilience, or making it through hard things, is not something we do or build individually by making good choices.
● However, with the right support, difficult and stressful events do not have to cause trauma and do not have to be entirely negative.

The current system is optimized to produce and reproduce future generations of people who suffer from trauma and do not experience healing.
