Early childhood professionals and families are under enormous strain. Housing and health care costs are increasing, new technologies are changing the ways we live and work, childcare costs keep rising even as providers cannot make a living wage, and more children than ever are experiencing acute mental health concerns. We all need to attend to our emotional health, and we need help doing that.
Starting October 21, BTC will again be offering four workshops on child, family, and provider mental health and well-being during these traumatizing times. This summer, over 1,000 professionals who work in child development, education, home visiting, healthcare, social services, and other family-facing fields joined the four sessions live to share experiences of stress, trauma, and burnout and insights into fostering resilience and healing in families, colleagues, and ourselves.
In the virtual workshops, you will learn:
- To identify and work your way through compassion fatigue and vicarious trauma in yourself and others
- Self-care strategies and burnout-prevention techniques you can use in your daily work and at home
-
The role of community spaces in healing to spark your thinking about local resources that might already and still be within reach
- How to tune into and support children with behavioral and mental health challenges
- Ways of joining families as they advocate for their children
To continue to meet the challenges of these times, these workshops are again FREE, thanks to support from the Bezos Family Foundation.
