Description

Building Resilient Teams is an online guided discussion group to build resiliency within the multidisciplinary team (MDT). Participants, with guidance from a facilitator, will review the implications of secondary traumatic stress responses within the MDT and identify key domains for building resiliency. Team partners will identify strategies to grow capacity in each domain and consider how to implement those strategies within their MDT to encourage resiliency. These discussion groups are open to two-person teams from MDTs, with at least one individual from each team having a leadership or facilitator role within the MDT to help encourage the successful implementation of new strategies.


Targeted Audience

Child abuse MDT professionals, MDT facilitators/leaders. Teams of 2 individuals from each MDT will be required, with at least one member in a leadership or facilitator role on the MDT.


Facilitator

Salli Kerr, Training Specialist – WRCAC

As a result of this training, participants will:

      • Explain the risk associated with secondary traumatic stress (STS) when working in trauma-exposed environments
      • Identify strategies to eliminate or reduce the impact of STS and apply those strategies to their MDT
      • Create an actionable plan for addressing STS as a team of professionals working in trauma-exposed environments
Schedule

The time commitment per month is estimated at 4 hours, which includes 15 – 30 minutes of pre-meeting work and 90 minutes for each meeting. For individual benefit as well as the benefit of the entire group, participants are strongly encouraged to participate in all 5 sessions.
