Beyond Band-Aid's: Healing Burnout & Empowering Teams

How do we balance our mission to provide safety and empowerment for victims of interpersonal violence, with the knowledge that our staff absorb the stories of those that they serve and over time may exhibit the same trauma symptoms we see in our clients? What does it mean to make our supervision with staff as trauma-informed as our work with victims? Is it possible to preserve our duty to victims while weighing our concern for staff? This workshop will give attendees space to explore those and other important questions, and to learn how trauma-informed supervision practices can lead to more effective, productive staff in the long term.
