Cohort Program
M.O.T.H.S (Manging our Trauma, Healing and Safety) was developed by Viktoria Belle and Laur Kelly at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic in response to the overwhelming violence, burnout and vicarious trauma many health and social services workers are continuing to experience. With the added increase of situational and lateral violence, many professionals need intersectional and holistic trauma care.
Trauma and gender-based violence are forms of occupational hazards. Meeting those hazards with survivor-centric care provides alternatives and tools to mitigate the long-term hazardous effects on individuals and our essential services.
M.O.T.H.S is a unique program that blends accessible individual and community care together into knowledge, skill and support-building experiences for individuals and their teams. M.O.T.H.S is a survivor-centric program that uses an intersectional feminist framework and a holistic trauma-responsive lens to provide one-on-one trauma care to participants as well as facilitated group experiences over eight weeks.
In 2022, I worked with an incredible group of community and clinical nurses through an online offering of MOTHS, the feedback from our first cohort was incredible and I look forward to bringing this vital program into diverse workplaces and social service sectors.
