  Presenter: Elizabeth Atwell, LSW
  In order to improve the effectiveness of those in care-giving roles and prevent burn out, providers need to understand the impact of care-giving on stress response.  Program participants, those serving in a care-giving role or those who supervise caregivers, will learn about the impact of accumulated stress and be able to recognize symptoms/stressors directly related to serving in a care-giving role.  Participants will be able to identify positive coping mechanisms as related to managing stressors associated with care-giving.  The instructor will present evidenced based coping strategies to manage stressors as well as evidenced based models of stress management so that providers are able to create work cultures that provide and promote self care. These models will reduce the negative consequences of care-giving burn out and strengthen practice,  assuring the delivery of effective services.
