Description
Service providers who are stressed or overwhelmed may locate their exhaustion and dysregulation within themselves — “Do I feel this way because of lack of training, lack of skills? Maybe I’m in the wrong line of work!”
This training is an opportunity to identify self-care methods unique to you and how best to deploy these mechanisms of care as needed. Participants will explore emerging research and opportunities for growth after traumatic experiences.
This instructor-led training includes opportunities for discussion, self-reflection and peer group activities.
This training will also be suitable for managers and supervisors who want to better support their staff through training, skill development and supervision support.
