HBGBHSL0016 - PCHA Continuing Education - Understanding the Impact of Stress and How to Achieve Self-Preservation
Course Description
It is imperative that professionals thrive in a trauma-informed workplace. In this 6-hour hybrid course, students will learn the impact of stress on their own physical, mental, and emotional well-being. Students will then learn to distinguish between different kinds of burn out, compassion fatigue, and boundary-violations, and they will be equipped with practical strategies for surviving in chaotic and traumatic work.
This hybrid training consists of a 3-hour self-paced prerequisite and a 3-hour virtual live training. 6-credit hours will be issued after completion of both requirements.
