The impact of working with the complexity of human relationships can be heavy, intense and traumatic, leaving social workers feeling at a loss for control or numb to their experience. Left unprocessed, the social worker’s trauma is often mistaken for burnout which leaves the underlying root unresolved. This workshop will provide social workers with a clear understanding of how to recognize symptoms in self and others, preventative tools for both social workers and team leaders that can be readily implemented, and the importance of processing these traumas with evidenced based interventions.
