Trauma Awareness Training That Transforms Cultures
At Johnson Mapenzi Consulting Group, Trauma Awareness Training is not about compliance or checking boxes; it is about liberation. We create immersive, healing-centered learning experiences that help organizations move from reactive crisis management to sustainable, trauma-aware cultures where people and systems can heal together.
Trauma is not just an event; it is an ecosystem shaped by history, systems, and power. Our training centers the lived realities of Black, Brown, and historically marginalized communities, helping organizations see how trauma shows up in communication, leadership, and trust, and what to do about it in daily practice.
Who This Training Supports
This training is for leaders, teams, and systems ready to move beyond awareness and into action. We partner with:
-
District leaders, school administrators, and educators who want to embed trauma-aware practices that prioritize emotional safety, relational trust, and healing-centered discipline across entire school systems.
-
Nonprofits, community-based organizations, and community violence intervention teams building internal capacity to serve communities with compassion, cultural humility, and trauma-responsive care.
-
Employers and corporate teams seeking workplace cultures that prioritize psychological safety, emotional intelligence, and trauma-responsive leadership to improve team dynamics, retention, and organizational culture
-
Healthcare professionals, mental health practitioners, and frontline staff who need culturally responsive, trauma-informed care rooted in dignity, empathy, and equity.
-
Law enforcement and public safety agencies that want officers, leadership, and civilian staff equipped to recognize trauma responses, reduce harm, and cultivate trust with historically marginalized communities.
-
Local governments reimagining systems through a trauma-aware lens, shaping public policy, service delivery, and staff culture in ways that center healing and equity
