Secondary Traumatic Stress Core Competencies in Trauma-Informed Supervision

Quality supervision is an important support that organizations can provide to staff members at risk of developing STS. The STS-Informed Supervisory Competencies were developed to guide supervisors in providing effective STS supervision. The University of Kentucky’s STS Innovations and Solutions Center has developed this training to assist supervisors in developing these competencies to effectively address secondary traumatic stress.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND
Anyone who supervises or supports front-line provid­ers exposed to indirect trauma in their work in any ca­pacity, including peer supervision, administrative su­pervision, middle management, and senior leaders.

WHAT TO EXPECT
This free training will include the use of a self-rating tool to assist supervisors in monitoring their progress towards becoming STS-informed. The presentation will be interactive and fast-paced. Participants can expect to walk away with a wider grasp of STS and skills to effectively address secondary traumatic stress in their supervisees and/or peers.
