Cummings Graduate Institute for Behavioral Health Studies proudly celebrates DBH alum Dr. Jeremy Henderson-Teelucksingh and the release of The Trauma-Informed Manager: The Next Wave in Organizational Success, now available in Kindle and paperback editions. The book features a foreword written by CGI DBH alumna Dr. Brandy Biglow.
About The Trauma-Informed Manager
A companion to The Human Relations Matrix 2.0, released earlier in 2025, The Trauma-Informed Manager redefines what it means to manage in today’s workplace. Drawing on psychology, behavioral health, and systems thinking, Dr. Henderson-Teelucksingh introduces a transformative model of management that prioritizes safety, trust, empowerment, and belonging, without sacrificing humanity in the pursuit of performance.
Across ten practical chapters, the book equips managers with tools to stabilize teams, reduce burnout, and make confident, values-aligned decisions. It challenges traditional command-and-control approaches and instead offers trauma-informed practices that strengthen relationships, reinforce systems, and rebuild trust at every level of an organization.
Written for managers, executives, and HR professionals ready to move beyond outdated frameworks, The Trauma-Informed Manager provides a clear, evidence-based path toward healthier workplaces and healthier people.
Dr. Henderson-Teelucksingh’s guide offers clarity, structure, and human-centered solutions.
“Over the last 30 years, most organizations have dedicated time and attention to the development of leaders, which was necessary for the time. Today, managers sit at the center of the workplace, responsible for facilitating the time, attention, energy, and effort of their teams to achieve the business strategy while demonstrating organizational values. However, they receive limited training to succeed in the role. That’s why I wrote The Trauma-Informed Manager, to give managers a framework for achieving success with and for their people.”

Where DBH Training Meets Real-World Impact
Dr. Henderson-Teelucksingh credits the Doctor of Behavioral Health program at CGI with shaping the trauma-informed managerial approaches detailed in the book.
“Health happens everywhere, at work, at home, and across our communities. The doctorate at CGI provided the time and space to conceptualize the workplace as an epicenter of health. As such, extending trauma-informed principles from healthcare to workplace settings provides a structured, practical way to support managers in creating wellness for themselves and everyone around them,”
Dr. Jeremy Henderson-Teelucksingh shared. The DBH program’s emphasis on trauma-informed care, systems thinking, and leadership contributed to the insights in this new edition.
