Trainer: Alison Hendricks, LCSW
Virtual Training
Up to 67% of mental health workers may be experiencing
burnout. Working with
traumatized individuals and families can impact providers in many ways -
emotionally, physically, and mentally.
Are you exhausted, tired, sad, angry, or anxious because of your
work?
Do you struggle with feelings of inefficiency at your job?
Does it appear that your weekends and vacations do not properly
address and manage your feelings of fatigue?
You
are not alone! This workshop will help you understand Secondary Traumatic
Stress (STS), identify common warning signs and reactions, and learn strategies
for addressing STS so that it does not get in the way of your work or your
well-being.
This workshop is
intended for anyone who is in the frontline of providing direct care in their
communities. Whether you are an individual practitioner or an
administrator/manager who aims for workforce retention, this workshop is for
you. Take the time to take care of yourself and your staff.
