“Wiped Out and Still Going,” Preventing Compassion Fatigue
from ATTC
Despite the demands that come with a profession in the health and behavioral health care disciplines, providers are dedicated to their craft and enjoy a deep satisfaction from helping others. The other side of the job brings pressures and stress that can increase susceptibility to exhaustion leading to compassion fatigue and other occupational hazards. The consequences of compassion fatigue can decrease the provider’s emotional and physical well-being, influence the quality of care they provide for their clients, and negatively impact the interactions with coworkers and so creating an unhealthy work environment for themselves and others. The current opioid crisis has had a profound effect on people’s ability to cope for both communities and professionals, and the need for effective care and support is critical. This interactive webinar will identify and define often elusive work related conditions, self-assessment tools and practical strategies for self-care and building resiliency.
Date/ Time: Monday, November 25, 2024, 9:00 -11:00 AM CST/ 10:00 AM – 12:00 PM EST
Effective Sharing of “Lived Experience” While Maintaining Boundaries
from ATTC
This interactive learning community conversation supports the work of peers and the use of their valuable experience.
Goals: To provide a space for workforce members with ‘lived experience’ to reflect on the especially important contributions that they make in the lives of the people they support and guide. To explore the balance of self-disclosure that can best meet the needs of people in care. To review a person-centered method of sharing information or offering our ‘own story.’
Date/ Time: Monday, November 25, 2024, 1:00-3:00 PM CST/ 2:00 – 4:00 PM EST
