On-Site Training
Beyond Self Care: Establishing Healthy Practices for Trauma Exposed Advocates
Training
Working in domestic violence programs often exposes us to other people’s trauma and we don’t always know how to deal with it in healthy ways. The impact of trauma can show up in the way we treat others (both clients and colleagues), our physical and emotional health, and even how we see the world. Domestic violence advocates and other helping professionals are often told that practicing good self-care outside of work is the answer, but is that enough? As supervisors, we may overlook or underestimate our role in helping staff integrate wellness practices into their work. Join us as we go beyond individual self-care to explore healthy workplace practices for trauma exposed advocates. This virtual training will explore the following topics:
-
What it means to work in a trauma exposed workplace.
-
Integrating individual wellness practices in the workday.
-
Building a trauma impacted organizational toolkit to support and sustain trauma exposed advocates.
