This webinar will present information about potential stressors faced by staff across Intercepts 0-2 and ways that agencies can support self-care as a protective factor against harmful responses to stress. Presenters will explain secondary traumatic stress and vicarious trauma and share best practices, resources, and supports that agencies and staff should be aware of to build resilience and promote self-care.
Description
Self-care is a critical component of wellness for professionals across all intercepts of the criminal justice and behavioral health systems.
