“The trees are really talking to each other. They’re sharing food. They’re helping their neighbors. They're forming communities. They’re stronger together.”
Suzanne Simard

At SYNERGY HEALTH CONSULTING, we believe workplace wellness starts with the individual. Self-awareness is the foundation of employee well-being and trauma-informed care. When we learn to recognize our own biases and engage in honest, collaborative conversations with our teammates, we build the skills to do the same with our patients, community partners, and those with differing perspectives. This leads to healthier teams, reduced stigma, and an enhanced ability to support those facing complex challenges.

Empower leaders and staff with the tools to support themselves and their teams by acknowledging our shared humanity and the increasingly blurred lines between personal and professional lives. This training helps participants recognize what emotions or reactions are surfacing, understand the role of self-awareness in effective communication, and foster positive connections with teammates, clients, and patients. Grounded in trauma-informed care, this approach begins with self-awareness and encourages leading with empathy, vulnerability, and openness.
