TRAINING DETAILS:

This training introduces the Window of Capacity, an adapted version of the Window of Tolerance framework, to help participants better understand the impact of trauma exposure in the workplace.

The framework will support participants in recognizing their own responses and identifying practical strategies for coping with secondary traumatic stress and other occupational hazards that may co-occur in trauma-exposed workplaces. The session will also explore the critical role organizations play in supporting staff well-being and fostering healthier work environments.

Participants will be able to:

• Explain the difference between secondary traumatic stress, moral distress, and burnout
• Identify the individual, organizational, and societal roles in addressing secondary traumatic stress and explain how each level contributes to solutions
• Name four techniques to address secondary traumatic stress 

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.
