Secondary Trauma and Staff Retention Support
The Alvarado Consulting and Treatment Group is offering Secondary Trauma and Staff Retention Support throughout 2023.
It takes courage to help victims of abuse, to assist survivors of acts of physical, sexual, verbal and emotional atrocities perpetrated by those who are expected to care. It can take all we have to hold space for the trauma manifestations that explode around us, the mass violence in response to violence, and to give all we have to bring peace and safety to those who may not yet, be capable of receiving.
And all while facing a global pandemic, social and political unrest, racial inequality and a sense of divisiveness in our society that is tearing down the very fabric of our foundation each day that we come to work, and each day of our lives. It also takes a unique commitment to keep doing this work despite the personal, physical, emotional, and mental impact it can have.
We are here to help.
The Trauma Informed Care and Secondary Trauma Program that we offer was developed on the premise that exposure to the traumatic experiences of other people—known as secondary trauma—is an inevitable occupational challenge for the field of victim services. However, we believe, and we have seen that organizations can successfully mitigate the potentially negative effects of trauma exposure by becoming both trauma and secondary trauma-informed.
If we are to increase effectiveness, resiliency, and retention, we must, now, not later, move to integrate a program of well-being for our staff and leadership that provides a deep commitment to their health first.
The healthier our staff, the healthier our clients.
The Alvarado Group has been successfully serving Child Welfare clients, internationally, for more than three decades. Our provision of services is offered through webinars, on-site and virtual trainings, one on one and group coaching, practical tools and printed resources tailored specifically to the field of child welfare that provide the knowledge and skills necessary for organizations to integrate a Trauma Informed Paradigm of healing and to address the secondary trauma needs of their staff and retention challenges.
