Tryna is also a Pipe Trades Instructor at a local vocational college assisting Indigenous men and women interested in getting into the pipe trades as well as teaching other specialized programs.

Today, Tryna offers training to identify and address workplace psychological hazards in the trades and construction industries. She offers leaders and employees with prevention, intervention, and repair options which support the changing times for those in the trades. Learning and building your awareness will help you to develop skills, tools, and appropriate supportive responses to difficult questions, scenarios, and highly activated reactions. This will prevent complaints and harm. These cases are complex and require specialized services to prevent unintended harm which is often caused by a lack of training and awareness. As a member of the CIWPB Team, Tryna can assist leaders, employees who are harmed, witnesses who are struggling, or those accused and struggling to come to terms with the allegations or investigation outcomes. Including those who are falsely accused.

Tansi, Waspiski paskwaw mostos iskwew nitisiyihkason – my given name is Shannon Lust, and my Cree name is White Buffalo Woman. I am originally from treaty 8 territory and now reside in Treaty 6 near Edmonton, Alberta. My vast experience working within the mental health and education sectors, specifically within Indigenous communities, has afforded me many learning and growth opportunities. I have been taught by elders, knowledge keepers and many other indigenous peoples. Within the western Education system, I am taught in the field of counselling psychology and Indigenous people education. I am led to this work to ensure that the voices of victims are heard and that organizations are given the skills and opportunities to grow. At times, experiences within workplaces that lead individuals to being silenced, need to be better understood and stopped at the root. Finding and giving space to unheard voices, giving space for organizations to grow and bringing growth to all involved, is why I am drawn to this work with the Canadian Institute of Workplace Bullying Resources Inc.
