Bridging the Gaps Conference May 21-22, 2026
11:00-12:00
Day 1
Breakout Session #2: We Get Tired, Too
Shauna Green, MBA, CDVC, LCPC
Working in helping professions can be deeply meaningful, but it can also take a significant personal toll. When self-care remains abstract or idealized, stress, burnout, and secondary trauma can quietly build over time.
This session moves beyond buzzwords to explore what sustainable self-care looks like in real life, both inside and outside of professional roles. Participants will learn practical strategies to shift their relationship with stress and recognize and prevent the impact of secondary trauma. Attendees will leave with realistic tools to support resilience, healthy boundaries, and long-term balance.
