Trauma Responsive Leadership for the Public Health Workforce
Originally presented November 20, 2024
Overview
The public health workforce has faced extreme challenges in recent years. The associated stress and trauma have contributed to a wide range of poor outcomes, from decreased engagement and turnover to poor mental and physical health (all of which jeopardize public health agencies’ ability to serve their community). As organizations look to recover and support the healing and wellbeing of the public health workforce, prioritizing a supportive response to this widespread trauma can be critical in bringing about systems-level change.
