Team Facilitation

I facilitate regular team meetings for frontline workers of community organizations, building on their already existing strengths, and increasing trust and unity over time. I help to provide focus and support regarding complex clients and where multiple clinicians and services might be involved. Team facilitation can be requested on an as-needed or ongoing monthly basis.

I assist teams by:

• Developing or enhancing skills to build rapport and empathy with clients
• Raising the visibility of forgotten or overshadowed core strengths of teams and their members
• Ensuring team members don’t feel alone holding challenging caseloads
• Deepening emotional attunement with clients
• Finding ways to preserve, nurture, and sustain the passion teams have for their clients and community transformation
• Working together with client-centred and ethical values
• Honouring ethnicity and culture, building awareness of biases and prejudices
• Increasing self-care in the face of compassion fatigue
