Child welfare work is emotional, stressful, and often draining leading to secondary trauma for child welfare professionals. This training helps supervisors learn skills to help their workers cope with the emotional toll of child welfare work. Supervisors will learn about the dynamics of secondary trauma, self-care strategies, and a framework for helping workers cope with secondary trauma. Video vignettes of real workers talking about secondary trauma provide fodder for skill development as well as add a poignant reality to the training.
