Working day after day with at-risk children and youth elicits difficult feelings that can compromise a professional’s performance. This presentation examines the major triggers and provides strategies for self-management that keep enthusiasm alive. Focal points include: how to respond instead of react when personalizing difficult situations, how to manage effectively when support is lacking, why and how to check personal baggage at the door, strategies for appropriate affect control, verbal & non-verbal interventions that engage and inspire, strategies for maintaining staff cohesion, and a new definition for success in working with at-risk populations.

Cultural and historical trauma appears and is influenced in your work more than you think, especially if you work with people of color, war survivors, refugees and their descendants. Additionally, if the people you work with differ from you in the areas of race, culture, religion, sexuality, class or gender, your own biases are likely to come out. Join Anita Mandley as she brings these issues out of the shadows and into consciousness, and opens a new path toward addressing the hidden grief of cultural and historical wounds.
