Well-being Taskforce: Trauma Stewardship: A Book Club Review - National District Attorneys Association

Webinar

60-minute presentation
CLE: 1.00 Credit

Prosecutors, and those on their team, often interact with people during the most difficult time of their life. Sharing the experiences of victims, law enforcement, our colleagues, other community partners and even defendants impacts us professionally and personally. These experiences shape who we are and how we respond to others inside the courtroom and at home. While there is no escaping the hard parts of life, forging a new path starts by connecting with ourselves and cultivating the “quality of being present.” Being present requires that we are able to feel pain, while not succumbing to it. In our roles, we are stewards not just of those who allow us into their lives, but of our own capacity to be helpful. It is critical that we recognize a mindful and connected journey, both internally and externally, allows us to sustain the work we do.

During this webinar, we will use the book Trauma Stewardship: An Everyday Guide to Caring for Self While Caring for Others by Laura Van Dernoot with Connie Burk to discuss 16 warning signs of trauma exposure response, keys to being a stress resistant person and how to build a habit of trauma stewardship. We will also share how to use a book club to generate a connected team focused on doing meaningful work in a way that works for us and for those we serve.
