Insights for impact: Guiding intentional leadership
Welcome to Triluna Rising's Insights & Blog. Here, we offer actionable wisdom for leaders in Tribal governments and mission-driven non-profits. Our goal is to provide clarity, spark intentional shifts, and help you translate trauma-informed leadership into concrete systems decisions that foster sustainable, aligned organizations.
Navigating complex systems with clarity
Our insights delve into critical topics designed to empower your leadership. Explore how to move from trauma-informed training to truly trauma-informed systems, address burnout through structural change rather than individual resilience, and align supervision practices with your core organizational values. We also provide guidance on leadership during times of transition or instability, and the essential practice of embedding cultural context into policy and decision-making for deeper impact. Additionally, learn about strengthening retention in trauma-serving environments and building psychological safety within leadership teams, all through a trauma-informed lens.
Our distinct approach: research, experience, and cultural grounding
Triluna Rising brings a perspective grounded in both lived experience and doctoral research in trauma-informed leadership. Our blog highlights the intersection of strategy, resilience, and real-world systems work within Tribal governments and mission-driven organizations. We do not approach trauma-informed practice as a trend or checklist. Instead, we examine how leadership behavior, supervision practices, policy decisions, and organizational culture intersect to either support or undermine workforce stability. Our perspective is informed by direct experience within advocacy, child welfare, and Tribal-serving systems. We understand the historical and cultural realities organizations navigate and write from a place of both strategic rigor and contextual awareness.
Tools for tangible transformation
Beyond detailed articles, we share concise leadership briefs, practical implementation checklists, and short strategic reflections designed for busy executive teams. Discover quick supervision alignment tips, policy review prompts, and leadership self-assessment questions. We also share updates on research developments in trauma-informed leadership, observations from the field, and key considerations for Tribal and nonprofit leaders navigating change. The goal is to provide accessible, actionable insight that leaders can apply immediately — whether through a five-minute read or a deeper strategic analysis, inspiring movement toward sustainable, aligned systems.
