Join the Campaign to End Child Homelessness for a free webinar on May 10 from 2:30-4 PM EDT on Building a Culture of Self-Care to Support Service Providers. We all need opportunities to step back, breathe, and think about how our work both challenges and enriches us on a daily basis. For people who work in the social services, experiences of intense fatigue and burn-out are common. In addition to the stress of supporting others, managing paperwork, and meeting expectations, partnering with people who have experienced traumatic life events can be traumatizing for service providers. This phenomenon, known as secondary trauma or compassion fatigue, can have a significant impact on quality of life both at work and beyond. In this webinar, participants will learn how to recognize the warning signs of secondary trauma and discuss ways to prevent burnout. Tips and tools for addressing the self-care needs of both individuals and organizations will be covered.
This webinar is part of the spring training series Children and Trauma: Understanding Impact and Strengthening Resilience. Learn more.
