Webinar - Effective Leadership Series: The Attuned Leader
2023-04-26 11:00 - 12:30
This webinar series will address wellness strategies of those in leadership roles to help law enforcement, prosecutors, and other investigative personnel to manage stress from their difficult work in combating child sexual exploitation. This series will walk those in management positions through the necessary wellness steps needed to create an effective team. There will be a focus on mitigating the challenges faced by Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Task Force members.
A strong leader recognizes that being in tune with themselves and with the mental wellness of their team members is crucial for individual accountability and optimal team function. Self-compassion is an important part of wellness and an effective tool for enhancing performance.
Self-compassion entails being intentional about caring for one’s wellbeing and focusing on growth when there are challenges. Once a well-established wellness plan is in place, the next step is working with the team so they can be aware of their own needs with respect to mental wellness. An effective supervisor understands the importance of connection as a way to lead others, and sees the benefit in building a trusting relationship where others willingly follow.
This is part 1 of a 4 part series.

Webinar - Shielding Your Well-being Series: All About Trauma
2023-10-24 11:00 - 12:30
This webinar series will examine transformational meaning and its role in trauma recovery and post-traumatic growth. Professionals working in the child sexual exploitation fields are more likely to be exposed to conduct, material, and circumstances that can lead to chronic stress.
Individuals can be personally affected by the trauma of victims and others they witness and work with daily, which can impact them professionally and personally. This type of impact is often considered a “soul wound.” It can lead to a shattering of one’s worldview, belief, trust in others, and potentially, trust in oneself.
This presentation will discuss post-traumatic growth and transformational meaning and identify tools and techniques to mitigate the adverse effects on individuals in the workplace and personal lives.
