how to complete the stress cycle

Helped me stay regulated with my son.

2024-04-04 16:56:48 UTC

Creating a TIC lens/approach to an OSHII communications plan (thinking about how we're in the process of an inclusive language standard for our work).

2024-04-04 16:57:12 UTC

recognizing importance of team regulation.

2024-04-04 16:57:12 UTC

Helped me think more about regulating my own nervous system.

2024-04-04 16:57:16 UTC

2024-04-04 16:57:23 UTC

I think being with the group and the process of going through this class together was REALLY helpful

More time!

2024-04-04 16:57:23 UTC

Good to know we are on the right track with the way we are providing funding to our communities

2024-04-04 16:57:33 UTC

Building blocks that promote HOPE.

2024-04-04 16:57:33 UTC

Urgency culture. So much to get accomplished especially around SHIP 6 Planning.

2024-04-04 16:57:34 UTC

2024-04-04 16:57:35 UTC

Being able to calm myself (and sometimes others) during difficult situations.

Remembering to think about this.

2024-04-04 16:57:40 UTC

Helped me responding to my family in a TI way. Especially kids who are learning to regulate their emotions.

2024-04-04 16:57:48 UTC

Helped me use strategies with my family.

2024-04-04 16:57:50 UTC

If/when we run into parts of our community (MDH) that are not on the same page.

2024-04-04 16:57:54 UTC

Trauma is defined by the person who experiences it

2024-04-04 16:58:01 UTC

2024-04-04 16:58:08 UTC

feeling triggered in a meeting by something that someone said

Understanding that my trauma is legit and understandable.

2024-04-04 16:58:15 UTC

understanding the science behind trauma and how it impacts my body.

elpillsbury1 — 2024-04-04 16:58:29 UTC

That ACES and other "background understanding" are not destiny.

2024-04-04 16:58:57 UTC

2024-04-04 16:59:03 UTC

more engagement with the material applying to specific work topics in OSHII

Being able to approach meetings in a TI way. Understanding the balance needed between meetings/desk time.

2024-04-04 16:59:09 UTC

Conflict between compassion and accountability

2024-04-04 16:59:14 UTC

Still need more work!

2024-04-04 16:59:18 UTC

I liked getting a better understanding of what TI is and having time at work to do this. This has got me thinking about relationships and being more aware of peoples' experiences.

2024-04-04 16:59:39 UTC

Not being able to provide supporting "evidence" for something I have learned and am trying to share.

2024-04-04 16:59:39 UTC

Getting blindsided by a task that I didn't know I was responsible for and now is due soon

Feeling like I need to do it all/can't say no if I'm overwhelmed/at capacity within my work.

2024-04-04 16:59:46 UTC

Having us together, going through this process, empowers each of us to "have each other's back" when it comes to our work and beyond.

2024-04-04 16:59:59 UTC

That we are starting this journey together.

2024-04-04 17:00:00 UTC

and it is very rewarding.

will help with connecting with co-workers and partners.

While OSHII is working on being trauma informed, not all of MDH or the State is.

2024-04-04 17:00:04 UTC

2024-04-04 17:00:11 UTC

Remembering that everyone has their own story and life experiences and to never assume we are on the same page.

How can we expand from doing this work internally/in our units to how we can support LPH in a more TI way.

2024-04-04 17:00:34 UTC

Time, time, time!

2024-04-04 17:00:52 UTC

Time to incorporate TI, and time to meet with people and talk about TI and what it means. Time to learn how to make TI innate.

2024-04-04 17:00:56 UTC

I loved the shared videos. A few more of those to further explain the topic would be great.

2024-04-04 17:01:01 UTC

I wonder if the breakout room discussion questions can more closely be aligned with the learning done at the beginning of the meeting. Or if discussion questions can be shared before meetings so there is an opportunity to come to the breakout session with thoughts and ideas.

More around next steps.

2024-04-04 17:01:04 UTC

More discussion time. Action steps

2024-04-04 17:01:08 UTC

Take a breather between tasks - projects

2024-04-04 17:01:25 UTC

2024-04-04 17:01:40 UTC

I feel the entire Agency would benefit from this training/learning.

2024-04-04 17:01:53 UTC

How to embed trauma informed approaches into using data for planning and communication internally and externally.

Remembering everything I've learned during these sessions. I find that I need to continue to be reminded about the concepts.

2024-04-04 17:02:03 UTC

Curious if TIC has been used in treatment for addiction

2024-04-04 17:02:34 UTC

Learn more about embedding TI into policies and practices.

2024-04-04 17:03:46 UTC

Understanding that the same experience or information can hit people in a very different way because of past traumas.
