05/04/2024 - Supporting Clinical Supervisors in Mitigating the Impacts of Secondary Traumatic Stress for Supervisees and Client Populations - Dr. Sarah Reives-Houston

The recent mental health crisis has heightened the need for quality treatment, prevention and intervention services that support NC residents struggling with mental health and substance use challenges.

This session will provide clinical supervisors the opportunity to improve their understanding of workforce resilience and well-being while also exploring strategies that reduce the impacts of secondary traumatic stress, compassion fatigue and burnout. During the initial virtual learning session, training participants will engage in a comprehensive exploration of associated theoretical frameworks, concepts and skills.  During the in-person Clinical Supervision Retreat, participants will expand their understanding of these concepts and engage with other Clinical Supervisors in case-based applications and exercises.

Learning Objectives:
Upon completion participants will be able to:   

1. Discuss the prevalence of secondary traumatic stress, compassion fatigue and burnout
