2024 Theme: The Ripple Effect
As agents of change,we must create an atmosphere that feels welcoming and hopeful. One small act of positivity can have a huge impact on the world around us. Acts of kindness are contagious. Have you ever noticed that when someone does something nice for you, you are more likely to do something nice for someone else? This is the ripple effect in action. Creating a ripple effect can break down barriers, create a safer society, inspire positive change and create impactful waves for our Behavioral Health System here in Milwaukee County. |
Meeting times are 1:00PM - 3:30PM. All meetings are virtual except for May, September, and October.

"Caring for Yourself as you Care for Others: The Ripple Effect of Sustaining Staff Wellbeing as a Pathway to Quality Improvement"
Presented by Leslie Anne Ross, Psy.D.
Click here to watch the presentation. Click here for the certificate of attendance.
The relationship between provider wellbeing and quality of care for patients and clients is well documented in the literature. However, the pathway to sustained wellness in a stressful trauma exposed workplace is often unclear. In this presentation, we will learn three ways to increase provider wellness; 1) self-assessment, 2) promoting protective factors in the workplace and 3) Practicing Self-Regulation and Resilience Building Skills.
In this interactive, reflective training, participants will have the opportunity to learn about the impact of secondary traumatic stress (STS) and provider distress on staff and the quality of care that they are able to provide. Individual and organizational strategies to reduce the risk of STS will be discussed as well as an opportunity to develop a wellness plan for success.
