Staying Inside Our Window of Tolerance: Strategies for Managing Secondary Trauma and Distress - Wednesday, January 18, 2023, 3p.m.-4p.m. ET

The Center on Knowledge Translation for Disability & Rehabilitation Research (KTDRR) is committed to supporting grantees as they engage in equity-oriented research activities. We have heard from some grantees that as they begin or continue longstanding commitments to working with underserved communities, their own research teams sometimes struggle with distress as a result of deep engagement in the issues they learn about in their research. This webcast aims to help team leaders prepare for addressing those needs among their colleagues.

The webcast, “Staying Inside Our ‘Window of Tolerance’: Strategies for Managing Secondary Trauma and Distress,” uses the latest research on secondary traumatic stress, burnout, and compassion satisfaction to provide evidence-informed strategies to understand and respond to workplace stressors, with particular focus on those that teams may experience as they engage in research with communities that have experienced trauma. Central to this discussion is the “Window of Tolerance” framework, which will guide discussions of regulation, dysregulation, and effective coping strategies that can be used in real time to manage distress. Attendees can expect to leave the webinar with a solid working knowledge of distinct types of stress that researchers might experience as well as evidence-informed ways to improve their well-being.

Presenter: Dr. Ginny Sprang, University of Kentucky Secondary Traumatic Stress Innovations and Solutions Center
Discussant: Dr. Allison Taylor, Institute for Community Inclusion, University of Massachusetts Boston
Date: Wednesday, January 18, 2023, 3 p.m.–4 p.m. ET
