Student Well-Being in Placement: Becoming More Trauma-Informed

October 21, 2021 @ 11:00 am - 12:00 pm CDT

Presented by The Institute for Professional and Continuing Studies

This webinar is being hosted on Zoom. The link to the Zoom meeting will be included in your order confirmation email from Eventbrite.

This live course offers 1 APA CE credit for Psychologists, 1 BBS California CEU for Licensed Counselors, Social Workers or Marriage and Family Therapists, or 1 NBCC Clock Hour.

About This Event

The presentation will cover research into student well-being in placement, and the risks of students suffering secondary trauma. The presentation will examine student well-being generally, then look at the concepts of secondary and vicarious trauma, compassion fatigue and burnout in the helping professions, before going on to speak about research undertaken into secondary trauma in student placements and the findings.

As many trainees are exposed to similar material or experiences as qualified workers, this talk will encourage educators, supervisors, and placements to become more trauma-informed and how students can build awareness of this important issue.

Learning Objectives

At the completion of this program participants will be able to:

1) be more aware of the vulnerability of students they work with and what measures can be put in place to protect students from secondary trauma.

Speaker

Diana Conroy started her career in health and social care as a social worker in 2008, initially in child protection, then going on to work in adult mental health specializing in working in crisis intervention and with high-risk personality disorder clients in the community. Recognizing the trauma continuum from children to adults, Diana’s interest in the field grew, culminating in her working with humanitarians and veterans in Afghanistan for a year while completing her MSc in Mental Health on PTSD in 2017. Since then, Diana has been in private therapy practice and teaching at undergraduate and postgraduate level, taking up her current post in June 2021.
