This course is about your wellbeing. The children’s/tamariki workforce is often exposed to practice experiences and life stories that are hard to hear and presented with behaviours that are difficult to understand and manage. It is common for people working with vulnerable children/tamariki to experience stress and at times secondary trauma, vicarious trauma, compassion fatigue or burnout.
The course aims to help you understand how trauma can affect people who support, protect and serve vulnerable children/tamariki and families/whānau.
