In the work of supporting youth with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) and mental health needs, the demands are high and so are the emotional weight and responsibility that come with it. Many teams are doing their best, yet still feel stretched, exhausted, and unsure how to sustain themselves in the work.
We often focus on frontline staff when we talk about burnout and retention. But one of the most powerful and often overlooked drivers of team morale is leadership.
This session explores the real ripple effect leaders have: how the way we show up, communicate, and support our teams directly shapes culture, retention, and the quality of care provided to youth and families. It’s not about perfect leadership, it’s about present, intentional leadership that people can feel.
If you are a leader or emerging leader and have been looking for a session designed for you, this is it.
You’ll leave with practical, real-world tools you can use immediately, along with a deeper understanding of how your leadership impacts far beyond your role.
