Professional helpers sometimes forget to help themselves! This two-hour webinar will describe how professional helpers can build their own resilience in these stressful and uncertain times. Participants will learn about vicarious and secondary trauma, compassion fatigue, moral injury, and burnout. Using principles of trauma-informed care (trust & safety, choice, collaboration, empowerment, peer support, cultural & gender relevance), participants will learn strategies for self-care, relaxation, personal exploration, and professional development. Come prepared with some current examples in mind to discuss challenges and brainstorm solutions.

Topics to be covered include:
1) Wounded healers: How might trauma impact a staff member’s work with clients?  How might it affect their relationship to their supervision and the supervision process?
2) Creating a trauma-informed work environment: Taking care of our own! Introduction to parallel processes
3) Working with diversity
4) Occupational Hazards
5) Vicarious trauma, compassion fatigue, and moral injury
6) Developing and implementing a self-care plan

As a result of attending this training, participants will be better able to:
1) Describe their own work-related stressors through a trauma lens.
2) Describe specific work-related responses to stress, including vicarious and secondary trauma, compassion fatigue, moral injury, and burnout.
3) Explain how parallel processes between practitioners and clients can manifest in trauma-informed care.
4) Implement their own resilience and self-care plan.
