In Episode 99, host Dr. I. David Daniels speaks with Kevin Baker, a consultant in numerous disciplines, including Education, Educational Leadership, Mental Health, Community Policing, and Race and Social Justice. Kevin’s areas of expertise include Racial Equity, Inclusion and Diversity, Cultural Responsiveness, Trauma-Informed Care, Historical Trauma, Trans-generational Trauma, Unconscious/Implicit Bias, and Power and Privilege. The state of workplace mental health has shifted substantially in the past few years, accelerated by the global pandemic, racial justice reckoning, and other significant challenges. Since then, some organizations have made substantial gains by providing expanded benefits, meditation apps, mindfulness programs, mental health days, and awareness campaigns. However, these investments alone aren’t enough. It's said that “culture eats strategy for breakfast,” and underlying cultures in organizations are at the heart of a practical approach to the psychological health and safety of those in the culture. In this episode, we have the pleasure of chatting with someone who works with organizations and addresses culture from various perspectives. Kevin will take us on a deep dive into a conversation about culture and the ways in which both simple and complex trauma can affect an organization's culture.
