We're all called upon to be an emotional support for others at some point in our lives - even in our jobs. Expand your knowledge and understanding of how to compassionately support others while also supporting yourself.

Whether in our personal or professional lives, there will often be a time when personal, vulnerable information will be shared with us, whether it be disclosures of mental health challenges, experiences of violence, or other destabilizing experiences in someone鈥檚 life. It is common in these moments to feel unprepared, unsure how to respond, and worried we did or did not do 鈥渢he right thing.鈥� This one hour psychoeducational workshop will provide 鈥渟upport to supports,鈥� and aims to:

• Provide information on the neurobiology and physiology of stress responses
• Normalize responses and reactions to disclosures
• Provide practical strategies to support oneself during, and after, supporting someone else in their moment of vulnerability
• Invite compassion for ourselves and others when navigating complex conversations

The workshop is meant to disseminate information and is not a space designed for group processing, though questions and discussion will be welcome. The workshop is open to all, however those in leadership roles, such as faculty, staff, and graduate students might find it most applicable.
