Practical strategies to implement these principles include self-assessment of leadership approaches, education, empathetic communication, and creating safe spaces. They emphasize the role of continuous learning and self-care as essential for effective trauma-informed leadership.<br /><br />The session concludes with the importance of organizational training, open dialogue, and individual resilience-building strategies.
