  Description

This program has been approved for 1.0 Continuing Education hours in Supervision for licensure. NASW NH Authorization #4481 


This workshop examines the pervasive yet frequently overlooked challenge of secondary traumatic stress (STS) among clinical social work supervisors, emphasizing strategies for personal prevention and management. Supervisors often experience cumulative exposure to trauma through their supervisees, heightening their own risk for emotional depletion, reduced empathy, and burnout. This session will provide an evidence-informed framework for recognizing early indicators of STS and implementing individualized approaches to mitigate its impact. Through exploration of reflective practice, boundary setting, emotional regulation, and sustainable self-care, participants will develop tools to strengthen personal resilience and professional longevity. The workshop underscores that tending to one’s own well-being is not only an ethical responsibility but also foundational to effective leadership and the maintenance of high standards in trauma-informed clinical supervision.

1. Identify the signs and symptoms of secondary traumatic stress (STS) in clinical supervision and understand its unique impact on supervisors’ emotional well-being and professional functioning.
2. Develop personalized strategies for preventing and managing STS through reflective practice, emotional regulation, healthy boundaries, and sustainable self-care.
3. Apply evidence-informed approaches that support personal resilience and ethical leadership within trauma-exposed clinical settings.
