Navigating trauma can be a journey
Purpose of Research
The purpose of this action research study is to investigate and develop effective workplace training and implementation models for staff members in higher education serving in crisis related roles. Effective workplace training for this study is defined as training that results in knowledge gained being implemented or attempted to be implemented in the participant’s workplace setting, and potentially result in increases in staff morale and retention and a decrease in negative mental health outcomes due to workplace trauma. Knowledge generated is expected to inform better workplace training and practices surrounding crisis related roles.
