Increased awareness, social acceptance, and sociopolitical awareness is bringing mental health into the mainstream of modern healthcare. However, the mental health system is only as strong as the providers of these needed services. This training session will help attendees recognize, learn, and understand the causes of burnout, compassion fatigue, and vicarious trauma to better treat our clients.  

Learning Objectives
  1. Attendees will better understand and recognize the signs, symptoms, and causes of compassion fatigue, burnout, and vicarious trauma.
  2. Participants will develop a deep understanding of a holistic wellness model encompassing six distinct life domains.  
  3. Participants will develop an active self-care plan and be challenged to find practical methods of integrating the plan into their daily personal and professional lives.  
Persons working in law enforcement, courts, Health Departments, clinics and human resources may also find the training enlightening.
