Dr. Peter Centre is pleased to announce the fifth community of practice call associated with their 2-year National Trauma- and Violence-Informed Train-the-Trainer Mentorship Program, funded by the Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC).
The objective of the program is to address trauma, post-traumatic stress, and burnout among frontline workers in the health and social service sector by increasing capacity to provide trauma- and violence-informed care to both themselves and their clients.
The next national Community of Practice call will be held on Friday, May 24th at 10 AM Pacific time. The video call will be conducted in English, with simultaneous French translation provided. Please register here: https://zoom.us/meeting/register/tJElcu2qqT0pE9bYddd2VA9CXvZrjmTO8Hp8
The topic for this Community Practice call is safety planning for your team and Tracey from Frontline Baddies will provide the training. Safety planning is a tool we use in relation to clients, but we also need to understand how to keep our workers safe and how to respond when they have experienced a mental injury on the job.
