In a time of intense social division and ongoing collective grief, therapists are often holding space not just for their clients’ suffering—but for their own. This training is designed to support clinicians navigating the emotional toll of working in politicized or polarized environments, where exposure to charged discourse and ethical complexity can erode well-being over time.

Through the lens of mindfulness and trauma-informed care, this course offers grounded, nature-infused practices that help clinicians reconnect with themselves, regulate their nervous systems, and build sustainable resilience. Participants will explore how sociopolitical stress manifests in clinical work, how it contributes to compassion fatigue and ethical strain, and how to respond with clarity, care, and intention.

You’ll learn how to recognize early signs of burnout, engage with your own values without bypassing complexity, and implement accessible mindfulness tools that restore presence and inner steadiness. Without using breakout rooms, this live, virtual session will include guided reflections, somatic regulation practices, structured chat discussions, and an invitation to design a personal self-care framework that feels both realistic and nourishing. Whether you’re feeling stretched thin by the weight of current events or simply seeking to strengthen your resilience as a helping professional, this course offers a supportive space to breathe, reflect, and realign— ethically and compassionately.

Upon completion of the webinar, participants will be able to:

• Analyze the dynamics of sociopolitical stress and its influence on therapists’ professional well-being.
• Identify key indicators of burnout and secondary trauma in politically charged clinical settings.
• Implement mindfulness-based tools and grounding techniques for self-regulation.
• Develop trauma-informed, resilience-oriented strategies that uphold ethical standards.
• Construct a sustainable, individualized self-care plan to bolster long-term professional vitality.
