1 DAY WORKSHOP
Therapists, social workers, teachers, doctors, pastors, and even parents are feeling overwhelmed by the task of providing hope and direction when we, too, are often feeling the same anxiety, outrage and despair as the people we are supporting. Our training and experience often do not prepare us for the complexity of this challenge.
In this 1-day workshop we will come together at this critical time to explore:
How to support others with stressors we are also experiencing, ourselves.
Client responses to the prolonged state of crisis, and how to intervene effectively.
The impact of communal crisis on therapeutic disclosure and therapist differentiation.
Helping clients define and find sources of hope while acknowledging the crisis.
What we can learn from crisis intervention research.
How to work with clients who have disparate beliefs but similar fears.
What roles we can play to support individuals, families, systems, and a nation in crisis.
New concerns regarding whether information in documentation poses safety risks.
Actionable tools for caring for yourself as a caregiver in times of crisis.
