Intrinsic Change — Training for Helping Professionals

Training for Milwaukee and Wisconsin teams

Trauma-Informed Care training for Milwaukee and Wisconsin teams

Most of the people your team serves have lived through trauma. Many of the people on your team have too. Trauma-informed care starts there: understanding how trauma shapes what people do, how it shows up in our workplaces, and how it shows up in us. Then it gives you practical ways to respond.

What your team will leave with

  • A better sense of how your own experiences shape the way you work and connect with people
  • An understanding of trauma at both the personal level and the structural level, including how systems and oppression cause harm
  • Practical skills for safer, steadier interactions, especially when things get tense
  • Ways to notice burnout, secondary trauma, and compassion fatigue, and what actually helps
  • Shared language your team can keep using after the training ends

Who it’s for

Anyone in a helping role: case managers, peer specialists, therapists, coaches, residential and shelter staff, supervisors, and leadership. It works especially well when a whole team goes through it together.

How it’s taught

We go at a pace that feels okay. There’s space to reflect, nobody is pushed to share their own story, and most of the time goes to discussion and practice with situations from your own work. Our trainers bring lived experience and years in community mental health and trauma work.

Follow-up

Boosters and refreshers are available afterward, along with activities your team can use in regular meetings.

Length, cost, and logistics

Length
A four-hour workshop covers the foundations. Two half-days or two full days leave room for more practice and for looking at your team’s policies and environment.
Cost
A four-hour workshop is $1,400 to $2,000 for the whole group, not per person. Discounted rates may be available in special circumstances, based on your organization’s needs.
Group size
Teams of 8 to 25 tend to work best. Larger group? Let’s talk about what would fit.
In person or virtual
Virtual anywhere, or in person at your agency. We travel up to about three hours from Milwaukee; travel expenses are agreed with you up front.
Continuing education
CE credit may be available as an add-on, at an additional cost. Ask us what’s possible for your group.

Let's talk about your team

Tell us a little about your team and share a few times that work. Jesse will email you within two business days to set up a free video chat on Google Meet, usually about 30 minutes, longer if you need it. Bring anyone you’d like.
