Social Workers and helping professionals are often exposed to the emotional weight of others’ trauma, which can lead to secondary trauma, burnout, and compassion fatigue. Resilience in Practice is an interactive CEU training designed to help professionals recognize signs of secondary trauma, understand its systemic impact, and implement practical strategies to build personal and professional resilience.

Participants will explore evidence-based approaches to burnout, enhance self-care, and maintain effectiveness in their roles. Through guided self-assessments, reflective exercises, and group discussions, attendees will leave with a personalized action plan to safeguard their well-being while continuing to provide compassionate, high-quality care to clients.

Learning Objectives:

  • Define secondary trauma, compassion fatigue, and burnout while understanding their prevalence in the helping professions.
  • Identify specific personal and organizational risk factors that contribute to workforce burnout.
  • Increase understanding of trauma-informed prevention and intervention skills for Opioid Use Disorder (OUD), including recognizing trauma responses/triggers, promoting safety, and using trauma-sensitive communication.
  • Recognize the emotional, physical, and behavioral signs of burnout in oneself and peer teams.
  • Apply practical strategies for prevention, self-care, and resilience building for both helping professionals and the clients they serve.
  • Develop a functional toolbox of resiliency-building skills.

Who Should Attend? This training is specifically designed for Social Workers, Counselors, and Marriage and Family Therapists who currently work within addiction and trauma-informed care settings.
