Additional Services
In addition to our customized programs for leaders, lawyers and Indigenous community members, Myrna offers several additional services.
Trauma-Informed Advisory & Strategic Consultation
Myrna works directly with leaders, regulatory bodies, law societies, law enforcement, boards, legal professionals, and senior teams to:
- Assess risk related to trauma, conflict, and organizational harm
- Identify where systems are unintentionally causing damage
- Provide clear, grounded guidance for high-stakes decision-making
- Support leaders through moments where silence, delay, or missteps can escalate harm
Training & Capacity Building
Myrna designs and delivers trauma-responsive training that is:
- Practical, not performative
- Grounded in real cases and consequences
- Designed to change behaviour—not just language
Training topics include:
- Trauma-responsive leadership and governance
- Handling complaints, disclosures, and conflict responsibly
- Vicarious trauma, burnout, and moral injury
- Duty of care and institutional accountability
- Recognizing and responding to racial trauma, intergenerational trauma & organizational trauma
- What happens when harm is mishandled—and how to prevent it
Conferences, Retreats & Public Education
Myrna convenes leaders, practitioners, and decision-makers who need to build real-world skill in addressing harm, conflict, and trauma—not outsource it, avoid it, or mishandle it. These events are designed to strengthen participants’ ability to:
- Respond to harm with emotional intelligence and humanity, even under pressure
- Navigate difficult conversations without escalating conflict or retraumatizing others
- Hold accountability while preserving dignity
- Make decisions that are both ethically grounded and operationally sound
- Intervene early—before issues harden into crises
This is not passive learning. Participants leave with language, judgment, and practical capacity they can apply immediately inside their own roles and institutions. These are not feel-good events. They are skill-building spaces for people who cannot afford to get this wrong.
Legal Practice, Litigation Support & Trauma Consultation
Myrna works with lawyers, legal teams, and law or justice-adjacent professionals who are immersed in files involving trauma, abuse, and profound human suffering. This includes:
- Consulting with lawyers handling high-impact litigation where exposure to traumatic material is ongoing
- Supporting legal professionals navigating the emotional and ethical weight of abuse, violence, and systemic harm
- Helping practitioners maintain clarity, judgment, and humanity without becoming overwhelmed, detached, or impaired by the work
- Offering a culturally responsive & trauma-informed perspective that supports sound legal strategy without sacrificing human dignity
This work recognizes a reality the legal profession often minimizes: prolonged exposure to trauma changes how people think, decide, and carry responsibility.
Myrna’s role is to help legal professionals remain steady, ethical, engaged, and aware while doing this work.
How This Work Is Different
Myrna brings:
- Lived experience alongside professional expertise
- An understanding of trauma inside systems, not just individuals
- The ability to name what others avoid, calmly, clearly, and without spectacle
"Clients work with Myrna because they need someone who can hold complexity without collapsing."
Why This Matters
When trauma is ignored:
- People disengage or leave and complaints escalate
- Trust erodes
- Legal and reputational risk increases
When trauma is mishandled:
- Harm multiplies
- Leaders lose credibility and institutions destabilize
This work exists to prevent that.
