Friday June 23, 2023 10:00 AM - 12:00 PM Eastern Time

This interactive training aims to build resilience to secondary trauma and burnout by de-centering the role of our jobs in self-defining who we are.

Participants will explore their personal values, strengths, and what brings them joy, while identifying ways to cultivate these aspects of their lives outside of work.

Through guided activities, participants will explore ways to prioritize self-care, define personal work-life boundaries that are specific and actionable, and discuss realistic next steps to enhance meaning and joy in their lives beyond their jobs. Participants will gain self-insight to cultivate a more balanced and fulfilling life, which will enhance their ability to prevent and recover from secondary trauma and burnout.
