Description
Living out the values of Christian community development can often stretch us to the breaking point. Often those called to serve communities experiencing trauma are those who have experienced trauma themselves. This can result in retraumatization of staff, resulting in compassion fatigue, conflict and perpetuating trauma. This workshop explores how to develop a healthy organizational culture that embodies CCD values while avoiding staff burnout. Specifically, this workshop will explore tools for assessing organizational culture and health and specific steps to take to improve organizational health. Finally, it will explore specific steps that individuals can take to remain healthy while engaging in CCD for the long haul.
