Multi-day Event
Webinar

Three session virtual program presented by Minnesota Council of Nonprofits

We are not okay. Let’s stop pretending we are. If you’re a nonprofit professional, you’ve likely been operating at full tilt for far too long—juggling mission-driven urgency, tight budgets, and the emotional toll of serving others. The pressure is constant, the pace unsustainable, and the impact on our bodies, minds, and teams is real. You might be seeing it in staff burnout, emotional reactivity, or even your own shrinking capacity to lead with clarity and heart.

This workshop offers nonprofit professionals a practical introduction to trauma-informed principles and how they can be applied in everyday workplace settings. You’ll learn how trauma impacts communication, relationships, and culture—and gain tools to respond to even the most challenging behaviors with compassion, clarity, and confidence. Whether you’re leading a team or working alongside one, this session will help you create a more connected, resilient, and supportive work environment.

This is a six-hour virtual training spread over three two-hour sessions:

  • June 2, 2026 from 10 a.m. – 12 p.m. Central
  • June 3, 2026 from 10 a.m. – 12 p.m. Central
  • June 4, 2026 from10 a.m. – 12 p.m. Central

Learning Objectives

By the end of the session, participants will be able to:

  1. Understand what trauma is and how it impacts workplace behavior, communication, and team dynamics.
  2. Identify how trauma shows up in interpersonal relationships and organizational culture, including common patterns of disconnection, control, or conflict.
  3. Apply trauma-informed strategies to respond to challenging situations in ways that promote psychological safety, healthy communication, and trust.

Alliance members are eligible for the MCN member rate of $135.

Presented by the Northern RI Chamber of Commerce

 

Treasurer Diossa will provide an important update from the Treasurer’s Office and discuss the newly launched RISavers Program—an innovative initiative designed to support private sector employees who may not have access to employer-sponsored retirement plans.

 

Launched last October, RISavers is already making a meaningful impact by connecting thousands of Rhode Islanders—many for the first time—to a simple, affordable way to save for retirement.

 

This is a valuable opportunity for business leaders, employers, and community members to learn how RISavers may impact your organization and employees—and to engage directly with Rhode Island’s General Treasurer on the economic issues shaping our state.

Presented by Points of Light

 

Points of Light has developed a comprehensive theory of change for volunteerism, outlining the outcomes of volunteering and the conditions that drive meaningful impact. Grounded in research and field experience, this framework serves as both a synthesis of evidence and a practical tool for those working with volunteers. In this webinar, we will present the theory and its implications for strategy, measurement, and storytelling around volunteer impact.
