Origins Training & Consulting

The world feels chaotic. We are seeing policies shift overnight, communities struggling, and feeling the weight of uncertainty at work and with the people we serve. It’s easy to feel powerless. Some of us are going through the motions—just trying to get through the day. Others are shutting down, overwhelmed by the enormity of what’s happening around them. (That’s okay! That means you need time to rest). And then there are those of us who ask:?“What can I do?” The answer??You can lead. In times of change, trauma-informed advocates—what we call Resilience Champions—step forward. Not because they have all the answers, but because they understand that small, purposeful acts create real impact. Since 2017, Lori Chelius and Andi Fetzner LPC, PsyD have worked alongside trauma-informed advocates who are transforming their workplaces and communities through a trauma-informed approach. They’re not waiting for someone else to fix things—they’re taking action. Learn more about a few brave leaders who are utilizing this approach in healthcare, training, and social services. Read below to learn about how three leaders Erika Roshanravan MD, FAAFP, Nathel Lewis, and Aaron Scott are taking action! #traumainformed #resilience #innovation #cultureofconnection #healthcare #socialservices #personcentered https://lnkd.in/gH3nJEGR

We won't stay quiet. Right now, change—or should we say, whiplash from all the change—feels like the only certainty. In just days, we’ve seen a remarkable level of chaos. From the administration announcing a sweeping pause on federal grants and loans to a sudden reversal in less than two days. But the damage isn’t just about the feeling of chaos. Entire programs have been thrown out—or launched into uncertainty. DEIB policies are being dismantled, and key leaders committed to equity are being pushed out. For those working in healthcare, social services, education, and nonprofit sectors, this decision directly challenges the resources and stability we rely on to serve others effectively. The stress is real. The impact is real. And amidst this chaos, it’s easy to feel powerless.?But we believe this moment calls for something different. It’s a time to pause, reflect, and reconnect with our shared purpose:?to care for and strengthen the bond of the communities that depend on us and that we depend on. We have a choice: to freeze or to lead. When our world falters, our communities need leaders who can rise to the occasion. Who are our leaders? You. That’s right. You, who bring compassion, clarity, and connection to the table. That’s why we’re calling our?Resilience Champions?to step forward, together. Resilience Champions are the ones leading us and helping to navigate the uncertainty we’re all feeling right now. Resilience Champions are creating cultures of connections. Resilience Champions are getting things done! But never alone. We’re in this together. This is the time to show what trauma-informed leadership looks like in action. As Michelle Obama says, “When they go low, we go high.” By bringing a trauma-informed culture to the forefront, we create spaces where everyone thrives. Even in the face of adversity. Now is the time to care for and connect with our communities. Together, we can weather this storm and emerge stronger, united, and more resilient. With love and solidarity, Andi Fetzner LPC, PsyD & Lori Chelius Co-Founders Origins Training & Consulting

Overwhelmed by confusing and unhelpful advice on what it takes to feel better and be more effective at work? You’re not alone. We’ve been there, too, feeling stuck in a loop—wasting time and energy—while stress takes control. All you want to do is create a calm and focused environment. We’re here to clear up confusion with 3 common myths: Myth 1: A trauma-informed approach is too personal to be effective. Truth: It’s not about oversharing—it’s about naming what is happening to us in moments of stress and creating a supportive, accountable environment where everyone can thrive and connect with one another. Myth 2: A trauma-informed approach is for others, not me. Truth: It’s not just for “those people.” It starts with you—transforming how you connect, communicate, and lead. Myth 3: A trauma-informed approach is just another item on my to-do list. Truth: Despite its name, this approach is not just for “those people.” We help you understand the similarities we all struggle with. Being a human is hard! It starts with you—transforming how you connect, communicate, and lead. Now that you know the truth, let’s get to work to create real, lasting practical ways to make change. Click here to learn all about The Basics On-Demand. This training will help you move from theory to practice to build stronger, more resilient connections, culture, and workplaces. And because we’re all about supporting action-takers—if you join our email list TONIGHT before 9 pm PT / midnight ET, you’ll also get a special early bird discount! ??https://lnkd.in/gPwQbQ5x

A note from Lori Chelius on #ruralhealthawarenessday... Since 2021, Andi Fetzner LPC, PsyD and I have had the privilege of collaborating with the West Virginia University Health Affairs Institute and the West Virginia Department of Human Services on a project that has been incredibly meaningful to both of us. Together, we've been training Direct Service Professionals (DSPs) on Person-Centered Trauma-Informed Care (PCTIC). Since the project began, we've trained 75 DSPs, who have in turn trained over 1,000 others across the state. As we continue to reflect on the impact of this work, one theme continues to rise to the surface: community. Last week, we had the opportunity to present our work at the 32nd Annual West Virginia Rural Health Conference. It was a chance to connect with our project partners, build new relationships , and reflect on why this work has felt so deeply meaningful. When we first started this project, Andi and I were clear outsiders. We were sought out as experts on training in a trauma-informed approach and knew we had a lot to learn about the wild, wonderful mountain state– and we sure have! But it wasn’t through the research articles or the needs assessments. It was through connecting with the people, the community.?
