High-risk professions—such as policing, paramedicine, construction, veterinary care, rail work, and hospital settings—often expose workers to potentially traumatic events. While personal resilience is crucial for coping in these roles, it’s equally important for workplaces to play an active role in trauma prevention and recovery.
This webinar explores a dual approach to trauma prevention in high-risk environments, focusing on both building employee resilience and improving workplace practices so that they support healthy processing of traumatic events. Learn actionable strategies for identifying risks, mitigating their impact, and creating systems that prioritise the mental health and wellbeing of workers.
Led by MiTraining’s Organisational Psychologist, this session is essential for leaders, managers, and team members who want to make a meaningful difference in high-risk workplaces.

- Learn effective strategies to build resilience in employees to handle challenging events.
- Explore workplace-level interventions to support healthy trauma processing and recovery.
