Corporations are recognizing that whether a crisis occurs in the workplace or in one’s personal life, it will have a profound impact on the worker, and ultimately, on the workplace. SVAA has developed “Corporate Essentials” to support leadership in the aftermath of a crisis by providing education and skill building for having trauma-informed conversations in the workplace.

Corporate Essentials is a 12-hour course, delivered using a hybrid format of in-person or live virtual, and online instruction, presented over five sessions that can be scheduled in a variety of frameworks that best meet your agency’s needs. Our goal is to reinforce each attendee’s understanding and application of crisis intervention and support so that they are prepared when a staff member presents in crisis. This course will help answer the question, “What do I say before giving someone in crisis the number for EAP?”

Who should attend?

Corporate Essentials is designed for company staff who have the most contact with a company’s most valuable resource, employees- the individuals that help our companies grow and thrive! This course is designed to assist those in Human Resources, Workplace Wellness, supervisors, and those in leadership roles to communicate with a staff who shows up in crisis, whether it is a traumatic event that just happened, or one in which the individual is in the aftermath and seeking support.

What topics will be covered?

Crisis Intervention through a Trauma-informed Lens
Trauma’s Impact on Vulnerable Communities
Crisis Intervention & Beyond
Impacts of Death & Grief
Suicide: Prevention & Response
Intersection of Trauma & Outside Systems
Burnout & Resiliency Building
Putting Our Skills into Practice

What the Corporate Essentials Pilot Class from Goodyear Tire & Rubber had to say….

“Appreciate tools given to make difficult conversations more doable.”

“The training was amazing. It was great to get the basis for which to support those coming to me in a crisis. As someone who has experienced several crisis’ in my life, I feel comfortable discussing typically “taboo” topics, but have been left wanting on my own end. This training helped me fill the gaps where the issues were in the times I was left hanging when I reached out and will assist me in better supporting others in the future.”

“Thank you for the opportunity of allowing me to participate in this pilot. Great content.”
