In the past decade, professionals have made substantial gains in supporting youth and families exposed to chronic trauma.By integrating research and innovative practice skills from multiple disciplines, our understanding of the impact of stress has led to improved outcomes.When caregiver and professionals are specifically taught about the impact of stress the result is often a profound shift in empathy, self-agency, and deliberate action.In this workshop, we will examine models for understanding the neurobiology of stress, and how it impacts engagement, relationship building, discipline, self-care and the healing process. This workshop will also focus on the transformative quality of metaphors in the treatment of trauma. We will examine ways we can use resilience factors, empathy and compassionate care to provide excellent services to our clients while improving relationships within our workforce.
