Audra Kenneson, Rainbows United
When under stress, a caregiver’s ability to apply skills may be seriously compromised. This training  discusses the characteristics of a healthy work community. Then, participants will explore stress: the causes of stress, how one’s coworkers know one is stressed, and how one’s stress impacts the children and youth being served. Next, participants will discuss levels of stress and how to care for oneself at each level. Finally, participants will leave with a tool to assist them in evaluating their own stress level.
