IDENTIFYING AND ALLEVIATING SECONDARY TRAUMA STRESS, COMPASSION FATIGUE & BURNOUT - This is a non-interactive self-study course. YOU WILL HAVE ONE WEEK TO COMPLETE THE COURSE
2024-03-20 08:00 - 17:00 | MA
A 3-CREDIT CE COURSE FOR CLINICIANS – MUST BE COMPLETED BETWEEN MARCH 20TH – 27TH
This is a non-interactive self-study course. Teaching methods for this course includes recorded lectures, videos, a post-test, and a course evaluation.
Secondary traumatic stress (STS) and compassion fatigue (CF) are commonly assessed in the field of emergency and mental health as well as in the study of best practices for clinicians and front-line workers in the field of trauma. The unimaginable state of global crisis has placed these constructs under the spotlight as first responders, front-line medical personnel, and mental health professionals work with traumatized patients and clients while experiencing their own level of physical, emotional, and psychological stressors. As levels of empathy and compassion grow in the hearts of front-line workers caring for those in distress, so does the cost; leading to a state of physical, emotional and psychological exhaustion.
Learning Objectives:

List symptoms and identify the differences and similarities of secondary traumatic stress STS, compassion fatigue CF, burnout BO, and vicarious trauma VT.
Recognize personal and professional vulnerabilities to secondary traumatic stress and compassion fatigue.
Develop interventions useful via Telemental health in working with those who are experiencing STS, CF, and BO.

Coffee with Pastors - Outreach to Brazilian Ecclesiastical Authorities
2023-02-16 12:00 - 2023-02-18 17:00 | Main Campus
A new exciting and premier event by MVCS for ecclesiastical authorities from the Brazilian community. CONNECT’s Outreach Coordinator Pricila Vilaça conceived of this concept and is the lead organizer of the event, Coffee with Pastors.
The purpose of Coffee with Pastors is to present and share MVCS services and resources to religious leaders and their co-Pastors so they can then bring the information back to the members of their churches. To be culturally appropriate and respectful, the goal is to keep this event as intimate as possible with one employee representative from each program following Beth’s welcoming remarks. This representative will share an overview of what resources are available when needs may arise and how to access them within their respective congregations. In addition to the sharing of information, we are looking forward to the opportunity to build a foundation for ongoing relationships.
