Connection and building community are vital for any team, department, and organization.  It requires trust, fostering empathy, and promoting the well-being of all members. The intersection of trauma-informed care with community building is essential to effectively and inclusively connect.  But you don't need to know someone's trauma story to offer them trauma-informed care. In today's episode of A Trauma-Informed Future podcast, host Katie Kurtz is in conversation with community manager and social impact advisor, Fihmiya Hamdan. Fihmiya shares her experiences and practical insights on building trust, managing group dynamics, and the transformative power of compassionate community building.
