Training Description
The training workshop will take a developmental approach, focusing on the various emotional and physical boundaries that inevitably arise with working with system involved youth and/or children in foster care. This training will also utilize case vignettes and small group sharing to dig deep into the various counter-transference experiences we may face when working with system involved and/or youth in foster care and how this counter-transference may impact our information gathering and strategies to support system involved youth.
Learning Objectives
1. Participants will be able to identify situations where they may begin to experience Vicarious Trauma and Compassion Fatigue (skill building)
2. Participants will apply and practice strategies (via role plays) of mindfulness in order to build Compassion Satisfaction (skill building)
