Families are susceptible to strain from a number of sources including work and school obligations, illness, finances, interpersonal conflict, and more. Learn strategies to create and maintain a low-stress environment, how to identify & respond to ‘red flags’, and tips for communicating in times of crisis.
This training will help participants to identify the early signs of vicarious trauma and compassion fatigue and learn tools and strategies to strengthen personal resiliency through positive coping strategies.
As a result of this training, participants will be able to:
• Recognize the symptoms of personal vicarious trauma and compassion fatigue.
• Identify individualized adaptive coping strategies that contribute to health and well-being.
• Learn ways to model self-care practices that contribute to a supportive work environment
