Description

In order to optimally serve families, workers must understand their own wellness needs. As a child welfare professional, worker well-being, such as mental health and physical safety, is critical in partnering effectively with clients. These training modules address topics such as moral injury and positive psychology and highlight the need for meaningful investment in worker well-being as it relates to outcomes for families.
