Stopping the Caregiver’s Fatigue Syndrome for Managers

Being a manager in the field of human services has unique stressors associated with the role. Most managers have the dual responsibility of being a professional caregiver as well as the added responsibility of supporting and supervising staff. The manager’s role will be discussed and the use of a peer support group to ameliorate the caregiver fatigue syndrome will be identified. Participants will take part in exercises designed to simulate how these groups are run as well as experience the practice of supportive supervision. Specific guidelines for operating a peer support group and supportive supervision sessions will be presented. This is an experiential workshop with participants invited to take part in the exercises.

Write into Action:
This experiential interactive workshop will use a combination of personal journaling and psychodrama to identify areas in your life that have been inhibiting. The goal is on shifting perspective and gaining integration through insight. The power of the group will allow us to explore common themes collectively through action methods, while journaling will give each person a chance to process the group work at a more personal level. Both journaling and psychodrama are proven methods of working through difficult areas in one's life. This workshop combines these two powerful methods to help get at, and more importantly help move through, these issues.

Please bring your favorite journal and pen.
