Our first webinar in this series, “Witnessing: Understanding the Effects of Overexposure to Stories of Trauma and What to Do About It,” provides an overview of empathic stress, moral injury, and microaggressions, and describes coping strategies for both providers and clients.

Our interactive second webinar is geared toward administrators, managers, and supervisors, and draws on data from the “Work Environment Survey” administered during our first webinar. In our second webinar, we dive deep into methods of strengthening peer support in the workplace, the single most important factor associated with well-being under challenging circumstances. We look at the nuts and bolts of bolstering “reasonable hope” and amplifying existing resilience styles, and consider brief team meeting frameworks to build connections and support. Webinar presenter, Kaethe Weingarten, PhD, comments on scenarios shared by webinar participants and engages participants in brainstorming solutions together.
