Continuing Education
Managing Secondary Traumatic Stress: Promoting Wellness for Chronic Illness Mental Health Professionals
When: Friday, May 6, 2022 - 8:45am-12pm (PST)
Where: This training will be held virtually on Zoom
Event Description:
Burn-out, compassion fatigue and secondary trauma are all often discussed as concerns for those working in helping professions; unfortunately, with limited attention to methods to minimize this distress. This seminar will provide a radical shift in thinking about promoting wellness and sustaining career. Developed by Dr. Brian Miller, the Components for Enhancing Clinician Experience and Reducing Trauma (CE-CERT) model is grounded in evidence-based approaches to managing stress and healing from trauma in the mental health field. In contrast to self-care strategies that require the individual to engage in a restorative practice after-work, the CE-CERT model proposes qualitative changes in one’s approach to work and micro-interventions throughout the day.
Presenter: Elizabeth Risch, PhD, Clinical Psychologist and Associate Professor at the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center
