Understanding A.C.Es – Adverse Childhood Experiences
Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) have a tremendously profound effect on the health of our children (i.e., brain development, problem-solving, mental health, & physical health). ACEs are the largest unaddressed Public health issue in the world today. Research suggests that children who encounter 4 or more ACEs are more likely to suffer from substance abuse as an adult, have marriages that end in divorce, have issues with domestic violence, an increased risk of incarceration, & the list goes on. Join us for a discussion about the effects of ACEs & what we can do to support children in our homes & communities.
Also facilitated as a series or full-day.
Compassion Fatigue in the Helping Professions
As professionals we have the desire and are privileged to walk with individuals and families through very challenging times. As a result of multiple journeys down the road of support, we are unintentionally exposed to non-tangible occupational hazards that weigh heavily on the mind, emotions, and overtime begin to manifest physically if continuously dismissed. In this training, we will explore the multiple hidden costs of caring as well as the warning signs of Compassion fatigue (CF) and Vicarious trauma (VT) for those in helping roles. Participants will leave with a deeper understanding of Secondary trauma as well as user-friendly strategies to mitigate and manage its effects.
Resilience and Capacity Building for Direct Service Providers
Many times, in the helping profession we become so absorbed in supporting clients we forget about the importance of applying that same effort into maintaining resilience within our team. In this training, we will explore practical strategies that promote and sustain a culture of resilience that reduces burnout and increases productivity.
Resilience Thread Series
Combining ACEs, Compassion Fatigue in the Helping Professions and Capacity Building for Direct Service providers, this is a comprehensive immersion into the concepts of trauma and resilience. This series will also explore the importance of burnout prevention within helping professions.
