Due 03/22/2019
Elevating your insight and awareness to your own self-care and wellness is critical to maintaining a healthier trauma response that will ultimately reflect in providing better service provision to clients, supervisees, students, and communities. Now that you have explored work practices that inhibit or promote self-care and wellness.
In this week’s Discussion, it is now time to delve deeper and study best practices in this area. As a future helping professional, knowledge of these best practices will help you lead programs and supervise students in a way that minimizes environmental contributions to vicarious trauma.
For this Assignment, select an interview from the media carousel in this week’s Resources and consider best practices for promoting professional wellness for that work setting (e.g., agency, police or fire station, school). Think of how each practice might be applied and the potential benefits for trauma-response helping professionals to promote self-care and wellness. Select one or more articles that are specific to a work setting from this week’s Resources to inform your answer.
