This week the Change Voices team are at the offices of the Centre for the Study of Violence and Reconciliation, where Frayintermedia CEO Paula Fray is talking to the executive director of CSVR, Nomfundo Mogapi, about healing in the workplace.

Nomfundo is a registered clinical psychologist with a Masters degree from the University of the Witwatersrand in Johannesburg. She has extensive experience working in the field of traumatic stress and she has specialised in psychosocial interventions with ex-combatants, torture survivors and survivors of crime.

In this episode Nomfundo explains why it is so important for leaders to be awake to their own wounds and the impact of these wounds on their interactions in the workplace.

She says leaders can be peace carriers or trauma carriers, and talks about creating working environments that facilitate healing, rather than reinforcing woundedness.
