CAM™ Framework Trainings
Series of CAM™-Informed Care
CAM™ (Community Activated Medicine™) offers a transformative training designed to guide organizations in evolving from trauma-informed to healing-informed practices. This training encourages a paradigm shift in how organizations approach care, growth, and work culture, focusing on healing strategies that foster both individual and collective well-being.
​
Through a deep dive into issues such as vicarious and secondary trauma, compassion fatigue, decision fatigue, burnout, and moral injury, CAM™ strengthens teams by helping them recognize their unique gifts and the value they bring to the workplace community. Central to this training is the integration of ancestral, intergenerational, and cultural wisdom, which builds resilience and a strong foundation of community care within organizational environments.
​
CAM™ Framework trainings are customizable, offering modules such as an Introduction to CAM™, CAM™ Mental Health Without Borders™, the Intergenerational Healing Approach™, and tailored training experiences that merge CAM™ concepts to meet the specific needs and learning interests of your organization.
​
The goal of CAM™ is to create just, loving, and sustainable environments that promote healing, rather than rationalizing violence or oppression.
