Finding Common Ground

What you do matters and so does HOW you do it!

Tamra Oman,

CPS, CPS Trainer, SAC

Objectives:

1. Participants will increase their knowledge of what peer support is and what it isn't specifically in systems work (treatment courts, corrections, etc....).

​

2. Individuals will be invited to explore the difference of appropriate relational approaches rather than transactional efforts in order to create space for true transformation.

​

2. Personal reflection invitation on what you LOVE about your job and what might be "getting in the way" of feeling even better about what you do!

3. Exploring the power of language and delivery in the change process

Maybe the journey isn’t so much about becoming anything. Maybe it’s about unbecoming everything that isn't really you, so you can be who you were meant to be in the first place.

Trauma Informed Approach

Shared Wisdom: Let’s ask the experts in the room….

​

• What approaches or strategies have been most effective in working with individuals in your arena?
• What would you like to see different in TX and Diversion?
• What about language- why might we consider re-evaluating some of the terms we use? (sanction, dishonest drug use)
• What is one or two things you are taking away from our time together

Thoughts, questions, comments, reflections?

THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU DO !
