"COLLEAGUE" WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION:
Far too often, we hear of a fellow
helping professional who has ended his/her life; some of us have experienced it
first-hand, with a colleague choosing suicide. What is apparent is that it is a
shocking, appalling, and confusing occurrence which, to date, has no identified
swift, effective protocol with which to respond.
No one knows what to do; no one
comprehends the impact, and in the acute phase following the event, it is an
immense relief to have an idea of what to expect and how to proceed. This
speaker, founder of the organization Healers in Balance©,
in her focus to address the needs of helping professionals, has gathered
information, feedback, insight, reactions and suggestions from those who have
been through the experience, both fellow Healers and members of Administration.
She will share these findings, including identified commonalities, understanding
effects on self/clinic, and preventative measures as well as actions and
responses found to be most helpful and effective. Whether you are a helping
professional, member of Administration, or both, and whether you have
experienced this occurrence or hope you never do, this workshop will increase
your understanding of the impact, possible causes, factors involved, validate
your own experience, and/or prepare you if this unfortunate event ever befalls
your agency.
