How do we, as caretakers, support others when we are experiencing the same emotions and challenges ourselves?

This is a workshop for anyone who plays a role as a caretaker for others in the midst of today's politically-driven cultural crisis. Therapists, social workers, teachers, doctors, pastors, and even parents are feeling overwhelmed by the task of providing hope and direction when they, themselves, are often feeling the same anxiety, outrage and despair as the people they are supporting. Our training and experience often do not prepare us for the complexity of this challenge. In this one-day workshop we will explore:

* How to support others when we are experiencing the same emotions and challenge, ourselves.
* Understanding the range of client responses to the crisis, and how to intervene effectively.
* Exploring the meaning, development, and sources of hope for clients.
* How to provide comfort and build resilience when the stressors don't stop!
* How to work with clients who may have disparate beliefs but similar fears.
* What roles we can play to help create connection, humanity, resilience, advocacy, empathy, and insight to help heal individuals, families, systems, and a nation in crisis.
* How to support ourselves so that we, the caregivers, can maintain our own wellness as well as our capacity to care for others.
