Students will acquire the skills that will enable them to effectively build trust and rapport, demonstrating emotional intelligence, self-regulation, respect for autonomy, and empowerment through their roles as supervisors and administrators in settings where individual, organization, and systemic trauma have been experienced. Students will explore the impact of vicarious trauma and compassion fatigue on the social worker and identify ways to manage this impact for themselves and others.
