Trauma-Informed Corporate Communication

Many organizations face trauma — both within the company and in the communities in which they operate. These can include the death of leaders and/or employees, accidents, terrorism, public health emergencies, and civil unrest.

Drafting organizational communications about traumatic events can lead communicators to develop secondary trauma themselves — but awareness of secondary trauma and its impacts are not well-understood within the communications profession.

This seminar focuses on how communicators and leaders cope with trauma — their own and their organization’s. We explore the concept of post-traumatic organizational growth, as well as the psychology of grieving and loss. And we discuss how to use awareness of these concepts to become trauma-informed communicators, create more effective trauma-related communications, serve as change agents, and help promote healing in our organizations.
