• Cassie Gillespie, LLC

Name: Cassie Gillespie, LICSW (she/her)

Website: www.cassiegillespie.com

Email: Cassie@cassiegillespie.com

Services: I offer coaching, consultation, training, & workshops related to Occupational Trauma & Workplace Stress, and the Team as a Secure Base Model. I specialize in Organizational and Team Based Approaches.

Description: As a social worker with over 15 years of experience working directly with children, adults, families, and helping professionals, I have developed a deep appreciation for the toll that occupational trauma and workplace stress can take on helping professionals. All too often, workplaces fail to address this issue or address it only through the prism of ‘self-care’. My approach is one of collective care, and leverages the power of teams, and the responsibilities of organizations, to enact structural solutions. I focus on providing concrete tools, informed by social work practice, to support helping professionals in metabolizing their existing trauma, and protecting against future exposure. If you’ve ever thought ‘I can’t self-care my way out of this’, it might be time to explore what a collective approach can offer.

• Wellness Matters, PBC

Name: Debra Fortenberry, Esq and Sandra Thébaud, PhD

Website: https://www.fortenberrylawgroup.com/wellness-matters

Email: Debra@foretenberrylawgroup.com             

Phone: (719) 576-4030

Services: Whole Brain Ethical Decision-Making (6.6 ethics CLEs / 7 general CLEs)

Description: A growing number of scientists theorize that ethical action is supported by the brain’s right hemisphere capacity for noticing and wisely guiding us. Our program assumes that the emphasis and reward of left hemisphere function can disconnect attorneys from valuing their own well-being and the well-being of others, impairing communications and decision-making. The training will enhance self-awareness, listening skills, and commitment to well-being practices, informed by a deeper understanding of the different approaches our brains employ. Participants will experience modalities that demonstrate the importance of the right hemisphere perspective and receive support for creating their well-being plan.

Cost: In-house training up to 30 participants – $12,000
