Hear From Our Students!

“Taking the Certified Trauma-Informed Workplace Practitioner course with Stephanie, the CEO and Founder of The Wounded Workforce, was transformative. As a Black senior executive who’s experienced trauma in the workplace, I was hoping for tools to help my team and myself - and this course delivered. Even in an online setting, Stephanie created a safe, welcoming space to tackle tough issues like race, privilege, and trauma in the workplace. Her insights were validating and practical, giving me strategies I could immediately implement to foster a more supportive and resilient culture. This course isn’t just training; it’s an eye-opener for anyone looking to lead with empathy and make meaningful change. Highly recommend! 

—Jessica D. Winder, SVP, People & Author

“In an increasingly turbulent, complex world where the lines between work and home are blurred, building a trauma informed workplace is more important than ever. Stephanie excels at making difficult topics relatable, providing space for processing and reflection alongside real-world examples and insights. But beyond that, this illuminating, must-take course gives practical guidance on how to start building a trauma informed culture and how it benefits everyone - not only employees who self-identify as having experienced trauma. “

-Valerie Mertsock, People Operations Generalist

“ The TIWP certificate program was everything I thought it would be. It provided me with the tools and resources needed to be able to recognize trauma, how it can show up, and its role in the workplace. As a change management and team dynamics consultant, I focus on the people and how to support them through change. This will help me consider how things like power impact decision-making and psychological safety and in turn the success of organizations. I will continue to study up on trauma and so fortunate The Wounded Workforce and Stephanie pulled together this important course!”

-Kristen Scott, Founder & CEO

  • “Stephanie did a great job of making an elusive topic tangible. Trauma as an academic conversation can be hard to digest, but Stephanie laid out a rubric for compassionate action based on history and science. I have already revisited the course several times and applied the lessons in my current work. “

    Natalie Shaheen, Senior Vice President
