The Importance of “Grace” in Vocational Healing
Wednesday, Feb. 18 at 6:00 p.m. ET / 3:00 p.m. PT
Dr. Nelson Tung, chief of clinical operations, Martin De Porres Schools, Elmont, NY
This will be a Lasallian-inspired/trauma-informed webinar, designed to help all educators reconnect with their sense of vocation and explore sustainable self-care practices. We are all aware that education is more than a job — it is a calling, a ministry rooted in faith, zeal and the transformative power of human relationships. Due to the vast demands on educators, time, passion and dedication are all areas that can be compromised due to an array of professional and personal reasons. This webinar offers “opportunity” — opportunity to be in community with all Lasallians, to reflect, to learn, to share and to join one another to facilitate “grace.” The power of grace, especially for ourselves, is extremely healing. However, it can be very difficult to do sometimes. Therefore, we will explore the spiritual/clinical impact that burnout, compassion fatigue, secondary trauma stress and vicarious trauma can have. In turn, we will provide for spiritually directed/evidence-based practices to be able to combat it. The ultimate goal is to organically allow for grace, so that the whole person is cared for, and that a renewed direction/sustainability toward vocation, as well as spirituality, is reestablished.
Registration will open soon.
