Mental Health and Leadership with Tracy Schreifels, Part 1

October is National Depression and Mental Health Screening Month so we’re having a special guest today - Tracy Schreifels. She is an Infant Mental Health Clinical Mentor and Executive Director at Ellison Center, where she provides outpatient services to families. Tracy’s journey toward this role of leading a non-profit organization can inspire you wherever you are leading today.  Through her studies with children, Tracy has studied how children develop attachment styles by the time they’re two. Those attachment styles then continue to affect our current adulthood relationships at home and work. Learning how you’re wired and how your team is wired can help you connect and build a stronger team that supports every type of attachment style. We hope you’ll join us today and learn more about Ellison Center, an important and vital asset to our community, founded by an incredible person.  HEY LISTENERS, HELP US BLESS THE ELLISON CENTER and the amazing work they do! They are raising money to expand and serve more families.

CliftonStrengths (aka Strengthsfinder) is an assessment that is based on positive psychology and measures core motivations. It’s an extremely powerful tool for personal and professional development as well as improving team dynamics. You will hear us reference Strengths frequently in our podcasts.
