One of the most significant challenges for those supporting system involved youth is to effectively engage families and help them build constructive, transformational behaviors that are sustainable and lead to improved outcomes for system involved youth. In this training, we will explore how to enhance our capacity to support system involved youth by exploring how to recognize and prevent or manage Vicarious Trauma and/or Compassion Fatigue to strengthen our resilience and the resilience of the system involved youth and families we support. Practicing and sharing the methods outlined by this workshop will allow us to improve the practice of how we model taking care of ourselves and empower system-involved youth and families youth to do the same.
