From: CO-CARES Team (Colorado Alliance for Resilient & Equitable Systems) & Switchback Institute Switchback Institute serves those who serve others. It is dedicated to individuals, teams, and organizations doing high-impact, high-stakes work. Switchback champions individuals, teams, and organizational leadership in engineering environments that promote individual and team resilience, connectedness, and effectiveness. Workshops are designed to be interactive, and participant-centered. They are customized to meet the needs of individuals and achieve agency-identified outcomes. Group sessions are no-fault, strengths-based, collaborative, and fun! The Team Resilience, Recovery, and Development Training Program includes participation in a recovery retreat, an assessment of team intelligence leading to a team development plan, and team coaching to achieve self-identified goals. By the end of our time together you will have the tools needed to sustain consistent professional growth and resilience both individually and collectively. Most importantly, we want your teams to be reunited with the passion that took them into the healthcare field. The Team Resilience, Recovery, and Development Training Program aims to provide resources, training, and coaching to individuals/teams from the public health and medical care workforce to respond to and grow from the challenges faced currently and over the last 3 years. We will accomplish this in partnership with selected teams through the following activities: Retreat 1: A day-long Resilience and Recovery retreat focused on understanding challenges, and providing support as well as tools to process and grow as individuals and as a team. Inter-stage period: 2-3 virtual team coaching sessions to support ongoing agendas set by team. Completing Team Emotional and Social Intelligence (TESI) assessment that describes a team’s current effectiveness in 7 domains: team identity, motivation, communication, positive mood, stress tolerance, social awareness, and conflict management. Retreat 2: A half-day retreat to debrief TESI assessment, prioritize areas for development, and identify ongoing activities to meet development goals. Inter-stage period: 2-3 virtual team coaching sessions to support ongoing development agendas.  Closing Retreat 3: To celebrate accomplishments and commit to the ongoing development.
