NEW Resilience Strategies for Institutions of Higher Education Hybrid Training
The REMS TA Center has developed a NEW
resilience strategies training for institution of higher education (IHE) administrators,
faculty, staff, students, and their community partners. This
synchronous training is available through the
Live Trainings by Request and
Virtual Trainings by Request programs and presents
approaches to resilience for college and university personnel who work
directly with students, faculty, and staff during times of personal
and community crises. It provides a comprehensive framework to
support practitioners within the IHE community and is designed
to equip them with the knowledge and skills necessary to work
with peers, students, faculty, and staff impacted by stress,
loss, and trauma brought on by emergency events, including,
but not limited to, community or family violence and economic hardship.
Training Objectives
During this course, participants will
- Explore dimensions of compassion fatigue and occupational burnout, which refers to the physical and emotional exhaustion experienced by individuals who consistently encounter or provide support for others who are experiencing traumatic or distressing situations;
- Discuss the unique nuances and aspects of the culture and climate of IHE campuses and the impact of disasters and emergencies in these settings;
- Understand the relationship between trauma and resilience and how it affects an individual’s well-being;
- Learn how to develop a self-care plan that considers their unique circumstances and needs for them to prevent and manage compassion fatigue and be effective in their roles; and
- Gain a deeper insight of Psychological First Aid to assist individuals in the immediate aftermath of an emergency event.
Intended Audience
This training is intended for the IHE community — including administrators, faculty, and staff; counselors, clinical staff, and mental/behavioral staff; and students — and their community partners, such as local mental/behavioral health practitioners.
