Self-care in trauma informed organisations

Introduction

It is common for people working  with vulnerable children | tamariki to experience stress and at times secondary trauma, vicarious trauma, compassion fatigue or burnout. This online course is about how to safeguard you wellbeing.

It aims to help you understand how trauma can affect people who support, protect and serve vulnerable children | tamariki and families | whānau. It offers you, your families/whānau, leadership teams and organisations practical steps to manage the impact of trauma and improve wellbeing.

Learning outcomes

  • Understand the types of trauma and responses to ongoing stress that can impact the children’s | tamariki workforce.
  • Recognise the importance of self-care | kaimahi ora as the responsibility of both the organisation and individual.
  • Consider self-care | kaimahi ora from a Māori perspective.
  • Develop your own self-care | oranga plan.
  • Learn ways to look after yourself and your colleagues

Personal trauma

We all bring our own history and experience to our work. This can include a personal history of trauma, e.g. childhood abuse or intimate partner violence.

For Māori as Tangata Whenua (indigenous peoples) this can include a personal and family experience of colonisation and oppression. Likewise, for some Tauiwi (non-indigenous) groups, such as Pasifika practitioners this can also include a personal and family experience of colonisation and oppression.

It is important and healthy to recognise personal traumas. If you believe your personal trauma may affect your ability to practice effectively we strongly recommend you seek support, such as through Employee Assistance Programmes (EAP), supervision or cultural supervision.

Frequently asked questions

Is there a cost to attending an event / training or to do an online course?

Whāraurau is funded by the  Government to provide training, however as we have limited funds it is important to let us know if you aren't able to attend. This also allows us to offer your place to someone else. Note: we do not cover the cost of travel or accommodation.

The event or training is face-to-face however the location has yet to be confirmed.

As we like to get things in people’s diaries early, we sometimes open up registrations prior to confirming the exact physical location.  As soon as it is confirmed we’ll let everyone know.
