VIRTUAL Summary - Understanding Stress and Trauma Exposure & Personal Resilience and Stress Inoculation

This two and a half hour training will split time between the two content areas noted.

Understanding Stress and Trauma Exposure: For responders, providers, community helpers, caretakers and business owners, the potential consequences of coping with complex stressors include a range of problems including impacts on work and family life, decision making,  personal and professional relationships, mental and physical health implications, substance use, general burnout and even livelihood sustainability. This portion of the training will discuss the impacts of stress and traumatic exposure resulting from a combination of internal and external factors can impact an individual's well-being. Individuals whose work involves prolonged exposure to those that are stressed and/or suffering from traumatic or distressing events are also at risk of developing burnout, compassion fatigue, and vicarious trauma exposure.

Personal Resilience and Stress Inoculation: Mainers continue to grapple with a complex and changing combination of acute and chronic stressors. Stress, and the way we cope with it, can take a toll on our ability to function professionally as well as impacting our personal mental health. Where Psychological First Aid focuses on helping others, Personal Resilience and Stress Inoculation focuses on building your own coping capacity. This portion of the
training will take an applied focus on understanding how to manage stress, with an emphasis on building and maintain resilience through cognitive approaches including stress inoculation.

Intended Audience: Individuals who seek to gain a greater understanding of how to care for themselves or support their families and community after a disaster.
