This session is about the impact of trauma on staff wellness. Participants will look at how to practice staff wellness in a stressful work environment. The toll that working with traumatized youth can take on staff and the organization as a whole will be addressed. Participants will learn how to reduce their own stress and cope with those situations that are the most challenging for them while promoting their overall wellness. This is the fourth module adapted from the National Child Traumatic Stress Network’s curriculum, Think Trauma: A training for working with justice-involved youth. Any professional working with justice-involved tribal youth and their families will benefit from understanding trauma-informed practices are equally important for youth and staff. The goal is to teach professionals how to take care of themselves and seek support from others so that they may continue to of service to traumatized, justice-involved tribal youth. Participants are not required to attend all modules.
