TIIP at Work
Employing playfulness, improvisation, & movement to address and relieve work-related stress & burnout with our Trauma Informed Improv & Play methodology.
Burnout is real.
According to the American Psychological Association (APA), “burnout and stress are everywhere,” with close to 76% of Americans reporting that they are experiencing burnout.
What does that mean for your organization?
Close to 25% of American workers believe receiving better mental health-related policies at work would help them avoid or reduce the experience of burnout.
2020 survey commissioned by Spring Health and conducted online by The Harris Poll among 1,136 employed U.S. adults.
When work becomes play, and play becomes your work, your life unfolds.

How can TIIP help?
We address workplace burnout by exploring embodied play and improv exercises which rely on spontaneity and mental flexibility in order to:
- Decrease burnout
- Support individual wellness
- Foster team-building
- Increase engagement
Why play?
Studies have shown that playfulness in adults has robust relations with outcome variables such as intrinsic motivation, creativity and spontaneity, and positive attitudes towards the workplace or job satisfaction.

Mental health care doesn’t have to be hard to navigate for employees or cost employers millions every year in under-utilized benefits.
TIIP is a cost-effective, easy-to-implement, and FUN program with positive results for employees, managers, and the workplace.

We are master’s-level therapists with decades of experience in mental health and social work, specializing in using improvisation, play, theatre, and movement for healing. In 2014, we formed a therapeutic theatre ensemble to support youth with complex trauma. Partnering with CFTE in 2018, we developed and refined the embodiment-based ReScripted model, which we’ve now adapted to address employee burnout.
