Social Workers and helping professionals are often exposed to the emotional weight of others’ trauma, which can lead to secondary trauma, burnout, and compassion fatigue. Resilience in Practice is an interactive CEU training designed to help professionals recognize signs of secondary trauma, understand its systemic impact, and implement practical strategies to build personal and professional resilience.
Participants will explore evidence-based approaches to burnout, enhance self-care, and maintain effectiveness in their roles. Through guided self-assessments, reflective exercises, and group discussions, attendees will leave with a personalized action plan to safeguard their well-being while continuing to provide compassionate, high-quality care to clients.
