Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Trauma Studies
  • Mental Health Professional Development

Background:

  • Burnout and secondary traumatic stress (STS) are prevalent among mental health professionals in trauma care.
  • Protective factors include evidence-based treatments, positive relationships, and self-care.
  • Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) is a key evidence-based treatment.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the impact of a self-care and relationship-care course on mental health professionals trained in TF-CBT.
  • To enhance participants' well-being, competency, and empathy using PRACTICE skills.
  • To address organizational factors impacting clinicians, supervisors, and senior leaders.

Main Methods:

  • A course incorporating didactics, activities, and assignments focused on TF-CBT PRACTICE skills.
  • Inclusion of supervisor and senior leader breakout groups for organizational issues.
  • Pre- and post-course surveys and qualitative prompts administered to 45 mental health professionals.

Main Results:

  • Significant increases in PRACTICE skills usage (p < .001) and decreases in burnout (p < .001) were reported across roles.
  • Professionals actively implementing TF-CBT showed significant increases in TF-CBT competency (p = .004).
  • Reductions in STS were observed but not statistically significant; qualitative data indicated role-based benefits.

Conclusions:

  • The PRACTICE course shows potential benefits for trauma professionals, including clinicians, supervisors, and senior leaders.
  • Integrating self-care and relationship-care skills can mitigate burnout and enhance professional practice.
  • Addressing both individual and organizational factors is crucial for supporting mental health professionals in trauma work.
