Supporting Quality Care and Staff Wellness Through Trauma-Informed Care and Diversity, Equity, Inclusion & Belonging
June 11 @ 10:00 am - 12:00 pm
$25New initiatives such as Trauma-Informed Care (TIC) and Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging (DEIB) can sometimes seem like one more thing to do on top of already full schedules. But what if both are less about one more thing to do and more about HOW we are doing WHAT we are already doing? And how can these complementary approaches work together to support internal organizational culture and, ultimately, patient care? In this interactive discussion facilitated by Origins Training & Consulting, hear from CommuniCare+OLE about their experience implementing TIC and DEIB throughout their community health center to support their goals of quality patient outcomes and staff wellness.
By attending this training, attendees will be able to:
- Define Trauma-Informed Care (TIC) and Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging (DEIB);
- Learn about CommuniCare+OLE’s process of integrating these two initiatives;
- Explore the role of these approaches in internal culture to support staff wellness and patient care;
- Identify practical tips for applying TIC and DEIB initiatives into your setting.
Presented by Andi Fetzner, PsyD, Co-Founder and Lori Chelius, MBA/MPH, Co-Founder, Origins Training & Consulting.

Instructor Biographies
Andi Fetzner, PsyD, Co-Founder, Origins Training & Consulting
Andi lives by the mantra, “you don’t have to be a therapist to be therapeutic.”
Working in social service for 15 years prior to founding Origins with Lori, Andi frequently was frustrated with the lack of coordination between clients and the various systems serving them. It seemed that the focus was on symptoms and not the underlying cause of the problems. When she learned about the ACEs framework and trauma-informed approach, a lightbulb went off. This was how she could support people through the process of resolving those pain points in helping support clients and their families heal.
She then shifted her focus and began training across sectors to amplify this approach to care. She draws from her personal experience and her professional education to encourage empowerment and equity. Andi has served a variety of populations including children with special needs, at-hope youth, adults with special vocational training needs, and youth and families. Since moving to California in 2016, she has served both youth in schools all over LA County as well as victims of the Malibu fires. She currently lives her mission through her work at Origins Training where she supports the integration of a trauma-informed approach with people and organizations and at Integrative Counseling where she provides 1:1 trauma-informed therapy through telehealth in Arizona.
Outside of her work, Andi spends her time doing yoga, enjoying good food, and mountaineering.
Lori Chelius, MBA/MPH, Co-Founder, Origins Training & Consulting
Lori is driven by a desire to create sustainable change.
Prior to founding Origins with Andi, she spent 15 years pursuing this desire in a number of roles in healthcare and public health, including strategic planning, business development, project management, market research, and needs assessment. During that time, Lori saw opportunity after opportunity to address issues upstream and understand the root causes, not just the symptoms. When Lori met Andi, a fellow champion of a trauma-informed approach, she realized they could team up to help organizations build strong foundations based on solid values, build resilience, and provide even better care for the people they serve. And so, Origins was born.
Lori has a BA in psychology (with a concentration in neuroscience) from Williams College and an MBA and MPH from UC Berkeley. She lives in California with her wife, three kids, their dog (Benjie) and their two cats (Fred and George). She also coaches youth soccer (and still attempts to play it).
