Grit and Grace: A Therapist's Survival Guide as a First Responder to Crisis

Presented By: Brandy Klingman, LCSW, BACS

Icon feather-clock

1 CE Credit (additional 15 minutes provided for post-session Q&A)

Description

Workshop Description

Mental health providers are often the unthought of first responders to the community’s crisis. Whether it is a mass shooting, terrorist attack, natural disaster or pandemic the mental health community is always there. Therapists, counselors, and social workers are often there front lines working, listening, holding up our community in our greatest times of need. So what is it exactly that gives us the ability to step up, stand forward, hold and endure during these times of stress? This presentation will review the therapists measure of grit (perseverance and determination), as well as, grace (the compassion measure) as they relate to the health of the therapists. The ability to pay attention and nurture to these two measures can be the difference between the healthy first responder versus the level of burn out. We will review empirical evidence and literature that supports the definition and application of these measures, as well as, ways to nurture and improve upon these two with intention and focus. This will better both the therapists ability to thrive and also the community they serve.
Learning Objectives

Learning Objectives

1. Examine ecosphere crisis related to the helper role and review bio-psychosocial responses to front line crisis response
2. Review relationship of duration of exposure and level of stress to burnout of responders/therapists
3. Define grit and grace as related to internal response and drive of the therapist as well as it’s exhibition both towards others and the self
4. Review supported evidence and literature on practices to improve these skills for improved outcomes of crisis response
