Abstract

[Excerpt] This brief provides an overview of a pilot Regenerative Organizing program addressing stress and trauma for care workers in the New York metropolitan area. The Worker Institute at Cornell University’s ILR School convened a cohort of members and staff from unions and worker organizations of nurses, domestic workers, and home care workers for a months-long training and coaching process in “regenerative practices”—frameworks and tools that support personal and collective wellbeing and foster more resilient collective organizing. Participants learned how to introduce regenerative organizing practices into their unions and organizations through their own daily work (as care workers and as organizers) and through targeted interventions that were tailored to respond to the unique stressors and challenges their members face.
