Supporting Clinicians in Working with High-Stress Families: A Conversation with Sarah Cleary, Ph.D.
Description
Many therapists find it challenging to work with children who have experienced trauma and families facing multiple stressors, high conflict, and systemic issues. These families can be difficult to engage, leading therapists to feel ineffective, and thereby contributing to overarching burnout. Consequently, the children who often need the most support sometimes go without it.
But what if clinicians working with these vulnerable populations received more robust support, including ongoing group supervision and mentorship? Could this lead to better outcomes for both patients and providers? This is the question our guest, Sarah Cleary, Ph.D. (she/her), has been exploring at Denver Health, developing a variety of supervision experiences for trainees and staff over the past few years. Join us as we discuss how these support systems can make a difference.
