The Course
They say you can't pour from an empty cup...
In this mini-course we're diving deep into the world of self-care, community care, and resiliency building, specifically honed for people in helping roles.
From understanding the signs of compassion fatigue, vicarious trauma, and burnout, to learning somatic tools to build resilience. We're passionate about supporting those who support others!
What you will learn
When I first designed this mini course, my primary goal was to support those who consistently prioritize the well-being of others. This course is intentionally resource-rich—carefully structured and thoughtfully developed to be both informative and accessible. While it centers on self-care, it also delves deeper into themes of resilience and community building.
Each module is designed to deliver essential insights and practical tools in a format that’s both engaging and easy to absorb. Whether you're new to this field or seeking to deepen your existing practice, the strategies and knowledge shared here will enhance your ability to support others while maintaining your own well-being.
Curriculum
Your instructor
Hope Ignited Training (nurtured by creative director Chelsea Haverly she/her) stands at the intersection of compassionate consulting and transformative training in Annapolis, Maryland. Our expertise is deeply integrated with the ethos of Trauma-Informed Principles, a philosophy we instill across various professional realms including trainers, clinicians, and government agencies. We champion the profound belief that adopting trauma-informed practices is not merely an approach but a journey towards both systemic reform and profound personal development. As a seasoned instructor, my dedication to this field is rooted in system wide experiences, community engaging, and consistently informed by work with my ongoing clients.
My passion for teaching sustainable helping practices is fueled by a heartfelt connection to those who support others. I have devoted my career to supporting not just my clients, but to other professionals who are looking for community in their helping roles. This commitment to my community of helpers comes after my own symptoms of vicarious trauma and burnout 6 years into my career as a social worker in Baltimore City. I'm committed to more sustainable work practices and community support after these experiences and I am committed to helping to support others as well.
