Description:
There is now wide consensus that responding to the COVID-19 pandemic will take months rather than weeks. As CASA/GAL staff and volunteers we work in a high stress, trauma-exposed field, and all of us need to consider strategies that will help us remain clear-headed, compassionate and present in the long-term rather than racing to just get through another day.
Using evidence-informed strategies, this webinar will offer some essential strategies and resources to help all of us manage this difficult time.
