Addressing stress in the workplace has traditionally been avoided or seem as a distraction to the delivery of service. This training integrates stress management techniques and strategies off and on the work site without interrupting productivity. Direct Care staff and management are encouraged/prompted to understand their vulnerabilities, recognize early their own and their colleagues warning signs of secondary and vicarious stress. Management is also provided with strategies to promote a more secondary trauma informed work environment and support the maintenance of professional and personal wellbeing in valued staff. These approaches can be applied to unique work settings to strategize appropriate opportunities to incorporate self-care concurrent with work performance.
