A Role of Great Responsibility
The role of a teacher is one filled with daily demands and expectations — but also one of great responsibility and influence, as the potential to shape and impact a young life in a positive way is a significant position. This means ensuring your own health and wellbeing is maintained and supported is crucial.
Trauma stories, compassion fatigue, and vicarious traumatization may be parts of a teacher's role that aren't spoken about or addressed very often, but that deserve attention to assist you in understanding, navigating, and overcoming these experiences.
This training is part of the A Way of Being with Children series, with a focus on children ages birth to 5.
