This one-hour conference presentation is part of the 2022 Washington Behavioral Healthcare Conference.
Our field has always faced challenges, including caring for others while caring for ourselves. But these past 2 years have brought unprecedented levels of stress and heightened disparities and inequities in our communities which continue to affect us now. You are not alone! We have worked with providers, trainers and evaluators to learn what has helped others in our field. We created content to help providers connect about despair and also to find hope. We acknowledged difficult realities and took steps to take care of ourselves. We learned about virtual fatigue and found novel ways to connect. Please join us for a conversation as we are in this together. You’ll learn more about the Mental Health Technology Transfer Center (MHTTC) network; training challenges we identified, including pandemic, racial injustices and related strain; and how to connect training best practices to your staff’s support and well-being. You can also share input on current training needs, and plan action steps to increase and sustain staff resilience.
