Intrinsic Change — Training for Helping Professionals

Training for Milwaukee and Wisconsin teams

Burnout prevention and compassion fatigue training

Helping work asks a lot, and it adds up. This training builds skills for noticing what the work costs, and for caring for yourself and each other while you keep doing it.

What your team will leave with

  • Words for burnout, compassion fatigue and secondary traumatic stress
  • Mindful self-compassion practices that fit a workday
  • Ways to support each other as a team
  • Ideas for what the agency can change, not only the person

Who it is for

Anyone in a helping role, and the supervisors and leaders who support them. It works well as an all-staff in-service.

Compassion fatigue and secondary traumatic stress

Hearing hard stories every day changes us. We name what it looks like, so staff can notice it early.

Built on mindful self-compassion

Mindfulness and kindness toward ourselves, brought into how we work: with the people we serve, with each other, and across the agency.

Jesse is trained in Self-Compassion in Psychotherapy (SCIP). Brittney Fair facilitates mindful self-compassion trainings. Shaina Buckner and Tony Gardner bring years of trauma work and lived experience.

Follow-up

Boosters and refreshers are available afterward, plus short practices your team can use in regular meetings.

Can you shape it around our team?

Yes. Every training starts with a conversation about who your team serves, what is getting in the way, and what you hope will change. Then we shape the training around that, and stay flexible on length and format.
