Think like an occupational therapist to train your staff
Evidence-based strategies for leadership training and mental health support at work
Why think like an OT?
Your staff need support
Do you ever find yourself asking repeatedly for your staff to set up their programming? To use common sense with their campers? To follow the protocols you so carefully explained during staff training? Did you find yourself wishing your staff would just DO something?
Generations Z and Alpha report higher rates of anxiety than previous generations, especially at work. They also approach their work from a different perspective than Millennials and Gen X. Both of these factors can create conflict throughout the summer. Conflict in turn increases staff's anxiety and activates the stress response system.
When the stress response system is activated for too long, it can shut down parts of the brain responsible for executive functioning, creativity, and problem solving... All important skills for doing well at camp!
Of course they're struggling to do their jobs; parts of their brains are switched off! How do we switch their brains back on?
Supervisors need to start providing support for staff's nervous systems.
Using evidence-based occupational therapy techniques, Hummingbird OT's unique employee training process helps supervisors, staff, and organizational leaders bring their best selves to work by thinking like OTs.
Specifically designed for summer camp, Hummingbird's programming is ideal for camp leadership consultation, camp staff training, and individual psychosocial OT sessions.
