Creating Breakthrough
When you work with people trapped in the poverty mindset, you may feel like you are more invested in their life-change than they are.
So how do you persevere and help those who don't trust you, or who can't believe that change is possible? Or worse: those who don't actually want change—just the free stuff you provide?
You persevere by implementing trauma-informed strategies for creating breakthrough. Strategies like these:
- How to Master Adversity
- 5 Highly Effective Tools for Leveling Mental Roadblocks
- A Foolproof System for Accountability and Follow Through
- Avoiding the 3 Blind Spots that Undermine Your Best Efforts
- How to Use Risk to Motivate Change
To learn these strategies, bring Suzanne Burns in to share her hard-won expertise with your team. She’ll deliver insights gained through founding and leading a ministry of her own (Foundation House, a maternity home and training program for women in crisis), through her personal experience of crisis, and through her professional education.
With an MS in Marriage and Family Studies, Suzanne is also a Certified Family Trauma Professional. In addition, she is active in several organizations:
- International Association of Trauma Professionals
- National Center for Crisis Management
- American Academy of Experts in Traumatic Stress
- Executive Council for the National Maternity Housing Coalition
