This interactive training provides a deeper understanding of the challenges faced by child welfare staff with lived expertise and is designed to strengthen the collaboration between staff and their supervisors. Backed by the Action Research Project (ARP), we will unearth best practices for both staff and their supervisors focused on wellness, overcoming imposter syndrome, and maintaining professional boundaries. Attendees will receive guidance on effective strategies for supporting staff members, including regular check-ins, advocating for lived expertise, and creating safe workplace environments.
This is the second session of the Voices of Lived Expertise Virtual Training Series:
October 16, November 6, 12, and 21, 2024.
