This course will focus on supporting clinicians retain their physical, emotional, and spiritual health as they continue to engage with clients facing a wide range of behavioral health issues. The toll on clinicians working in behavioral health settings has become a significant area of concern across mental health, social work, and substance abuse organizations.
During the course, participants will actively explore the impact of their professional experiences on themselves and their practices. They will be exposed to a novel approach to more effectively manage compassion fatigue (CF), burnout, and vicarious trauma. Participants will be able to utilize these new skills immediately in their self-care efforts and establish effective support systems for their colleagues.
