Transform Your Practice: From Allyship to Accountability
Three 2‑hour live, interactivee virtual sessions
June 15, 22 and 29 from 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM PSTMany people know the language of allyship; fewer know how harm continues through performance, avoidance, defensiveness, and good intentions.
This training is not about “doing allyship better.” It’s about examining what gets in the way of actually living it.Across three live virtual sessions, we’ll focus on building the internal capacity required for accountability:
-Staying present in discomfort without retreating or reacting
-Recognizing your patterns in real time
-Responding without defensiveness or collapse
-Repairing harm beyond apology
-Holding perspectives that challenge your worldview -
Transform Your Practice: Rethinking Workplace Conflict, Trust, and Professional Relationships Through a Lens of Psychological Safety
Three 2‑hour live, interactivee virtual sessions
June 2, 9 and 16 from 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM PSTWorkplace conflict is often treated as a disruption to be managed or resolved quickly. But what if conflict is actually data—revealing deeper issues related to trust, safety, power, and unmet needs? This 3-part virtual training invites you to rethink how you understand and respond to conflict in your organization. Grounded in trauma-informed principles and a focus on psychological safety, this series will support you in moving beyond surface-level responses toward practices that build trust, strengthen relationships, and foster accountability.

Indigenous Liberation and Racial Justice
Coming in the Fall 2026
The Indigenous Liberation and Racial Justice Program is an immersive, transformative experience for Indigenous professionals, people of colour, and allies ready to confront colonial harm and advance real justice. Grounded in Indigenous worldviews, the program helps participants understand how racism and colonial systems operate, recognize their own roles in these dynamics, and develop the skills to drive liberation, accountability, and systemic change.
Indigenous liberation is the restoration of Indigenous peoples’ rights, self-determination, and authority over their lands, laws, and futures. Racial justice is the dismantling of systems and practices that perpetuate inequality, and the creation of equitable structures where all communities can thrive. This program is a space for honest reflection, courageous learning, and collective action—a place to connect, grow, and take bold steps toward a world where Indigenous rights, dignity, and sovereignty are fully realized, and racial equity is a lived reality.

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
-
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
-
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.

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.
In addition to our customized programs - listed below - for leaders, lawyers and Indigenous community members, Myrna offers several additional services.
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.
