In this training we will take a deeper dive into the 7th essential ingredient, Caregiver Capacity. Strategies to identify the impact of secondary traumatic stress, personal trauma history, primary and ongoing trauma and systemic stress will be shared. Whether you are an educator, therapist or other helping professional, trauma sensitive practice requires authentic empathy and compassion.
