In the first segment of this training, we will discuss the concept of ‘preferred self’, a concept from Narrative Therapy also known as how we express our values around caring for youth and families while we are at work. This course will discuss the two major reasons that professionals working with youth and families don’t always live up to our preferred self: crisis and burnout. Participants will have an opportunity to discuss prevention plans for both barriers, including developing a self-control plan for times of crisis and a self-care plan during times of burnout.
