A Skills-Based Approach to Sustaining a Career in the Helping Professions: The CE-CERT Model

 

 

This training was presented on
January 5, 2024

This training will be presented in collaboration with our partner project, the California Evidence-Based Clearinghouse (CEBC).

 

TRAINING MATERIALS & RESOURCES:

Training materials & resources for this workshop, including the recording, are only available to participants. If you have questions about this training, please contact CalTrin.

 

TRAINING DETAILS:

The CE-CERT model (Components for Enhancing Clinician Experience and Reducing Trauma) is an evidence-informed, synthetic model for reducing emotional distress for workers in the helping professions. This 90-minute training will provide an overview of the five model components and guided opportunities for you to self-audit your current strengths and needs for developing these skills. The result of this training will be an awareness of the skills needed to support autonomic regulation in a trauma-exposed environment, and specific action targets for addressing areas of need. 

 

Participants will:

  • Identify each of the five skills components that comprise the CE-CERT model
  • Define the relationship of each of the five skill domains (emotional engagement, reduced rumination, conscious narrative, emotional labor, parasympathetic recovery) to an individual’s own sense of well-being and emotion regulation during times of job strain or secondary trauma

 

Who should attend: All staff of family resource centers (FRCs), child abuse prevention councils (CAPCs), community-based organizations, and other child- and family-serving systems.
