Following Up: Compassion Resiliency
Since the pandemic, we've seen an increase in burnout rates and resignations among care workers every where. Those working in helping professions
often find themselves mentally and emotionally strained due to work-related compassion fatigue.

To help reduce compassion fatigue on an individual and workplace level, Resilient Lehigh Valley hosted an in-person workshop training session on compassion resilience. Following the workshop, participants completed evaluation forms proving the effectiveness of our training and the positive impact on enhancing one's compassion resiliency.
Supporting Trauma-Informed Practices:
A Community Approach

Resilient Lehigh Valley works daily to continue our mission of building safe, stable, and nurturing communities through trauma-informed systems. To highlight our impact in schools throughout the region, we shared ways we’ve worked to renew hope, healing, and resiliency in our students and families in a recent addition to Campaign For Grade Level Learning's Tuesdays series. Throughout the presentation, we highlight our work in trauma-informed schools, collaborative partnerships, school staff wellness, and more through the lens of youth resiliency.

Handle With Care: A Trauma- Informed Support Program
With Handle with Care, a collaborative, trauma-informed program, local law enforcement can send a discreet message to a child’s school to notify them that they have experienced a traumatic event. This program gives
schools a heads-up to treat the child with care as they work through and cope with their trauma.
