About this event
Efforts to carry out trauma-informed practices in juvenile court and justice systems have demonstrated significant benefits for the youth and families served. However, less attention has been paid to the need to protect those carrying out those practices from the potential risks of secondary traumatic stress, vicarious trauma, moral injury, and empathy fatigue.
The Center for Trauma Recovery and Juvenile Justice will be presenting a webinar that provides participants with an introduction to Resilience for Trauma-Informed Professionals (R-TIP; Kerig, 2019), an evidence-informed curriculum that has been developed to increase resilience to secondary traumatic stress reactions in the context of work that brings professionals into contact with trauma-related material or trauma-exposed individuals.
Beyond individual "self-care," emphasis is placed on strategies that organizations and systems can utilize to prevent, monitor, and respond to STS and foster an STS-resilient workplace. In this brief presentation, participants will be introduced to one of the specific R-TIP skills to enhance recognition of STS reactions.
