Join nationally recognized experts in the field of implementing trauma-informed practice in child welfare and
children’s mental health including a special focus on working with military families. One of the essential elements
of trauma-focused practice is addressing the impact of this work on providers. Addressing the roots of
vicarious trauma, secondary traumatic stress, compassion fatigue, and burnout are critical in sustaining
helping professionals in the field, as well as providing best practices and interventions with the children and
families we serve. Managers, supervisors, individual providers, and consumers can learn about current
research and experience models of self-care practice and resiliency strategies to sustained wellness. Presenters
will also discuss organizational strategies and policies to support trauma-informed practice, staff wellness,
and risk reduction.
