Trauma Stewardship for Care Workers
This is a workshop for workers in helping fields such as social workers, youth workers, violence against women counsellors, nurses and shelter workers. "Trauma Stewardship" is a concept developed by Laura Van Dernoot Lipsky, focusing on how to sustain yourself while engaging with suffering. I share useful teachings from Lipsky and other trauma experts, sharing pieces that I think are most practical for frontline workers. Going beyond "how to self care," I help workers learn how to "move the energy through." Components include:
-
Trauma Stewardship
-
Defining Burnout Within Social Context
-
The Body's Stress Response
-
PTSD versus "vicarious" trauma
-
Completing the Stress Cycle
-
Thoughtwork
-
Self-regulation and Co-regulation
​
This topic can be offered in staff meetings, pointing learners in the direction of useful teachings. However, this workshop is being developed as an all-day training (with guests) as well. Online or in person.
