The following no cost training is hosted by The Justice Center. For those of you coming from a distance it makes sense to attend this and then go right up to the ACL conference, which starts the next day.
The New York State Justice Center for the Protection of People with Special Needs is hosting a free one-day training on Monday, November 2, 2015, 8:30am – 3:30pm. Trauma Training_Flyer November 2
Please plan to arrive early to sign-in. Refreshments will be available at 7:30.
“Trauma Stewardship: Strengthening Our Capacity to Help Others” will be presented by Laura Van Dernoot Lipsky, MSW. Founder and Director of the Trauma Stewardship Institute and author of Trauma Stewardship: An Everyday Guide for Caring for Self While Caring for Others.
The training will focus on the cumulative impact of daily exposure to the suffering and trauma of the individuals we work with and the toll it can take on our personal and professional lives. Laura will offer a compelling mix of personal insight and cutting edge research to help us gain a deeper understanding of vicarious trauma/compassion fatigue and tools to help us regain our strength, focus and purpose.
This training is free of charge, although registration is required. Go to http://www.justicecenter.ny.gov/individual-and-family-support-ifsu/justice-center-training-opportunity-trauma-stewardship-workshop-registration to register.
