COVID-19 and racial injustice prompted widespread protests and mobilization to care for the sick and organize against injustice. Clinicians and practitioners are on the front lines of these crises. Adjusting to the “new normal” of managing working from home while balancing family and increased work responsibilities or working in person and handling these constant stressors often results in feeling like you are barely keeping your head above water. COVID-19, and its new variants, and racial trauma can place some in a constant state of fear. For others, simply trying to reorient to life post-pandemic shutdown is stressful. When all the “extras” of navigating our world layer on top of life responsibilities, practitioners can find the multiple concerns they must balance to serve others overwhelming. These stressors, if unchecked, can lead to vicarious trauma and potential burnout.
This training will help practitioners re-envision a culture of care that balances the needs of the caretaker with the demands of the services they provide. It offers practical advice for balancing personal and professional responsibilities in challenging times. During this parallel learning process, practitioners will leave with strategies and techniques to share with clients and to adapt for themselves.
Objectives:
• Explain the psychological and physical role of stress.
• Describe the signs and symptoms of compassion fatigue, trauma, vicarious trauma, and burnout.
• Identify strategies to re-envision caring for themselves and discuss strategies for wellness to share with clients.
• Identify culturally relevant ways of coping with stressors.

Credit will not be awarded for the listening circles sessions.
These 60-minute listening circles are designed to bring together healthcare and human service professionals to explore the ways in which compassion fatigue, secondary traumatic stress, and burnout are showing up in everyday life. Through large and small group guided discussion, participants will be invited to process their own experiences and also share applicable strategies aimed at supporting personal and professional resiliency in our current environment.
Objectives:
• Identify the presence of indicators of compassion fatigue, secondary traumatic stress, and burnout in the current lives of participants.
• Examine strategies to promote personal and professional resilience, including self-care approaches, effective communication strategies, and personal wellness planning to improve physical, psychological, emotional, social, spiritual, and professional well-being.
