Secondary Traumatic Stress Training
Vicarious trauma, secondary traumatic stress or compassion fatigue, trauma exposure response, and burnout are “all forms of stress that may affect those working in “helping” professions because their work involves direct exposure to other’s trauma.” (Phoenix, 2014) Often, vicarious trauma refers to a changing in someone’s worldview and secondary traumatic stress refers to the emotional duress an individual may experience as the result of working with someone who has experienced violence. These changes can result in a shift in ideals and have a negative effect on work with students, supervisors, or even the institution at large. In order for campus staff to continue to provide trauma-informed, timely, and appropriate care for students, employees must have the opportunity to find support and practice their own self-care. This interactive presentation will highlight the importance of recognizing and responding to personal experiences with vicarious trauma as well as implementing approaches for prevention. The facilitators will identify obstacles to a healthy self-care plan as well as resources for staff to use including methods of self-care and ideas for vicarious trauma prevention. |

Interpersonal Violence Survivor Support Ally Training
By deciding to work in a University setting, we have all joined a village of professionals seeking to provide students with the best resources and care possible. Sexual Assault and intimate partner violence are not new topics but have become front and center in recent years as individuals share their experiences and participate in movements like #METOO. UNCG has taken a step forward by developing the Campus Violence Response Center (CVRC), a confidential resource for survivors. However, the response doesn’t always begin in the CVRC but instead starts with our campus partners. This interactive presentation will highlight the campus and community resources necessary to create a safer, non-violent campus culture. Staff and faculty will learn skills for preventing violence and responding to survivors in a trauma informed and caring way. |

Mindfulness: Being Present in Your Work and Life
The idea of mindfulness or being mindful is complete engagement in the present moment. It is a state where you are not thinking, reflecting, judging or deciding, but are instead simply experiencing the things currently in your available experience. In many ways, people are largely unaware of our present moment and often operate on "auto-pilot" to some degree. The auto-pilot mode is our default mode of operation. Even when we find ourselves in a pleasurable quiet moment we automatically begin to daydream about others, plan/worry about the future or ruminate about the past. We miss living in the present moment because we fail to pay attention to it. Mindfulness is about waking up to the present moment and paying attention to our experience. Learning mindfulness is not difficult; however, it is difficult to remember to do it. This training discusses mindfulness and how to incorporate its practice into your life. |

Your Hidden Employee Paycheck
PLEASE SIGN UP IF INTERESTED. DATE WILL BE DETERMINED BASED ON INTEREST. Human Resource professionals often use the term "hidden paycheck" to refer to the employer's contributions to employee benefits of which employees are generally unaware. As your employer, UNCG is diligent about providing information to you, our employees, on our pay structure and how your individual employee pay is calculated. We also like to communicate to you periodically the total value of your compensation, which includes what we call the "hidden paycheck" of all the benefits, mandatory and voluntary, that the company sponsors and contributes to. In this course you will learn more about these benefits. |

Leaders Confronting Workplace Bullying
According to the February 2014 Workplace Bullying Institute's U.S. Workplace Bullying Survey, 27% of employees have current or past experience with bullying, bosses are the majority of bullies, and 72% of employers deny, discount, encourage, rationalize or defend it. Because of this continuing prevalence of workplace bullying and its harmful effects, it is important for employers to know how to recognize, confront and stop bullying in their workplaces. |
