Course Description:
This course is intended specifically for those who serve and support individuals who are often marginalized. This work is demanding and trying not only because of the obstacles the individuals we support face but beacause of the changing demands of the work and its requirements amidst a shirking number of people who are choosing this work. This training is intended to provide ideas and tools to help team members understand burnout, compassion fatigue, vicarious trauma and role overload. This training will help collegues learn about the importance of our own wellness and will provide tools that assist us in caring for each other and ourselves while building resiliency. A collection of activities, handouts, and videos, will be provided during this presentation that will leave the participant with a toolkit of resources.
