TEAM AWARENESS is in IOWA

🎉 Celebrating Our Trainers and Expansion of Team Awareness! 🎉

From July to November 2024, five outstanding trainers led two transformative trainings—Ripple Effect and Resilience & Thriving—across two counties in Iowa. These sessions were designed to strengthen workplace and community well-being through stress management, prevention, resilience-building, and the cultivation of social capital.

💼 Over the course of 22 sessions, we reached 216 participants from 17 diverse organizations spanning healthcare, education, law enforcement, consulting, and more. Most attendees were employees, with managers, supervisors, and community members also participating. Participant feedback was overwhelmingly positive, with many appreciating the practical tools and meaningful conversations the trainings offered.

A huge congratulations and thank you to our dedicated trainers for making this initiative a success!

THE PROOF IS IN THE DATA

With an average response rate of 95%, analysis of surveys from the two sessions revealed:

Significant improvement across all pre-to-post items
Over 60% of self-rated improvement for participants
80% or higher ratings of facilitator/session effectiveness

All facilitators also submitted session reports indicating how much of the training they delivered and perceptions of participant engagement. Results showed high engagement from individuals across trainings with generalized interest in the ambassadorship and the ability to expand the reach of the training.
