Supervision: The Ethical Mandate of Self-Care in Action

Sponsor: New Hampshire Alcohol & Drug Abuse Counselors Association

A small group of citizens developed a grassroots movement in response to a regional survey on workplace burnout. This survey showed that over 94% respondents endorsed symptoms of burnout and are not talking about this in supervision because they feared it would jeopardize their job security. A taskforce was formed and received technical assistance grants to engage community involvement. The journey of this taskforce is described in the 2020 Amazon Best Seller and #1 New Release in Practice Management NOT Too Tired to Care. The Resilient Supervision Model is one of the outcomes of this taskforce. This training will review the data collected pre and post pandemic demonstrating how compassion satisfaction can be leveraged as a resilient skill for managing work-life challenges and maintaining quality patient care. Much of this training will be interactive including role play and testimony from those on the frontlines using these interventions in their work as supervisors as well as direct service providers. Participants can expect small group work practicing the use of these interventions including group discussion concluded with individual action plan development for how to implement these practices into your unique work setting. A Deeper Dive into HomeBase is offered on December 12, 2023. As a result of the training, participants will:

*Learn how to do HomeBase; a simple, evidence informed trauma sensitive practice utilizing neuroplasticity as a resilience building skill. 

*Understand the causal link between stress and compromised service delivery. 

*Become familiar with the Professional Quality of Life (ProQOL) measure.

*Learn how to use the Resilient Supervision Agreement to establish self-care as a workplace cultural norm.   

*Learn how to use the Resilient Supervision Documentation Form to operationalize ethical mandates for self-care and quality care delivery.
