Are you, or someone you know, interested in obtaining a Master of Social Work degree? We invite you to attend an information session to learn more about our bold, courageous and world-affirming community of professional social workers.
There is no better time to focus on our own wellbeing! The world needs change, and in order to be healthy and effective change agents social workers need to learn skills for building and sustaining our own resilience amidst the challenges of this work. In this interactive presentation we will explore the concept of radical resilience building.
We will spend our time together exploring briefly the impact of chronic stress, burnout, compassion fatigue, and primary/secondary/historical trauma on our body/mind, and then spend most of the time exploring and experiencing the concept of resilience and ways to build our own. You will leave with more tools to bring to your work making the world more just, humane, and sustainable!
Dr. Derr’s research examines the nexus between social and health service systems and the migration experience and she teaches courses on global migration, social science research methods, and data analysis.
