Corporate & Organizational Consultation

Trauma Informed | Systems-Focused | Human-Centred

At Root & Rise, corporate consultation supports organizations in understanding how stress, trauma, and human behaviour show up in the workplace - and how to respond with clarity, compassion, and accountability. 

This service is designed for organizations navigating burnout, staff turnover, leadership strain, conflict, or organizational change, particularly in people-centred and high-impact environments.

Corporate consultation is not therapy. It is education, guidance, and systems-level support grounded in social work ethics, trauma-informed practice, and real-world experience.

Who This Service Is For

This service is well-suited for:

  • Non-profits and community organizations
  • Healthcare and social service agencies 
  • Indigenous organizations and service providers 
  • Education settings 
  • Small to mid-sized organizations experiencing growth, strain, or transition 
  • Leadership teams supporting staff through high emotional demands

If your organization works with people - or supports people who do - you are already doing trauma-exposed work, whether you name it or not.

What Corporate Consultation Addresses

Organizations often reach out when they notice:

  • Chronic burnout or compassion fatigue
  • High staff turnover or sick leave 
  • Escalating conflict or breakdowns in communication
  • Leaders feel overwhelmed, reactive, or unsure how to respond
  • "Performance issues" that persist despite traditional interventions 
  • Staff bringing significant personal stress into the workplace 
  • Organizational change creates instability or fear 

Rather than focusing on "problem employees," consultation looks at systems, leadership responses, policies, and workplace culture. 

Our Approach

Root & Rise offers trauma-informed, non-clinical consultation that helps organizations:

  • Understand behaviour through a nervous system and stress-response lens 
  • Respond to staff distress without crossing ethical or professional boundaries 
  • Support leaders without turning them into therapists 
  • Build psychologically safer workplaces 
  • Reduce burnout and vicarious trauma 
  • Strengthen communication, boundaries, and accountability
  • Align policies and practices with human-centred values 

All consultation is grounded in:

  • Social work ethics 
  • Trauma-informed practices 
  • Behavioural consultation principles 
  • Cultural humility and responsiveness
