About
Healthcare workers often face the cumulative impacts of caring for others, including compassion fatigue and burnout. Drawing inspiration from Trauma Stewardship by Laura van Dernoot Lipsky, this one-hour training hosted by the Faculty and Staff Assistance Program (FSAP) is designed to help you cultivate awareness and intentionality in navigating secondary trauma.
In this session, we’ll explore the Five Directions of Maintaining Well-Being (Inquiry, Focus, Compassion and Community, Balance, and Centering) as tools to help you develop a sustainable, grounded, and purposeful practice while caring for others.
You’ll gain practical strategies to shape a meaningful work-life approach in ways that honors your well-being, while empowering you to serve others with clarity and intention.
In this training, you will learn:
• How to recognize the signs and impacts of secondary trauma.
• Ways to approach life-work boundaries through values-based reflection.
• Strategies for building daily rituals that foster balance, connection, and joy in your personal and professional life.
This training offers an opportunity to reflect on your role as a caregiver and steward, equipping you with tools to navigate the challenges of trauma exposure while maintaining your own sense of purpose and well-being. We look forward to supporting you in this important work.
