Child Abuse Professionals are faced with difficult situations daily. We will define burnout, discuss ways that our jobs handle different traumatic experiences, and how we cope with them. Audience members will identify ways to cope with stress in the moment as an individual and as a team. We are looking at the multidisciplinary team members’ toolkits and adding tools of play. This will be an interactive session, and everyone should come ready to play!
