 l tools needed to navigate ethical decision-making and maintain health

 nship-driven settings. \n\nThrough real-world case studies, facilitate

 \n-- Instructor: Kennedy Lewis  --\n\nInstructor Bio: Kennedy Lewis is
  a trauma therapist with a Master’s in Counselling from the University
  of Victoria, currently practising in Vancouver, BC. Alongside her priva
 te practice, she founded Extraordinary Workers to support frontline staf
 f working in trauma-exposed environments. Drawing on her experience as a
  former support worker, Kennedy identified gaps in meaningful, relevant 
 care and developed programming that centres worker sustainability and so
 lidarity.  Now in its third year, Extraordinary Workers engages support
  workers across British Columbia through workshops, groups, and training
 s in a range of community settings. Kennedy approaches resilience by exa
 mining how workplace systems can better mitigate the impacts of trauma e
 xposure, believing that when workers are properly supported, they are ab
 le to stay in their roles longer and build the stable, healing relations
 hips clients need most.\n\nAdditional Information:\n\nPlease confirm any
