As a former Chief Resilience Officer in Louisville, I noticed that trauma was a common thread among Kentucky’s most vulnerable populations. Trauma, an emotional reaction to a distressing experience, affects both mind and body and its symptoms can be short or long-term. However, a person does not need to experience trauma firsthand to be affected. Frontline and other CHFS workers can experience secondary trauma through the traumatic experiences of the people they serve. Today’s guest, Marjorie Shular, MSSW, knows something about the effects of trauma. Her life experience led her to become a front-line social worker, supervisor and now staff assistant who helps recruit social workers for CHFS. In this episode, we discuss trauma, the necessity of self-care and how to enhance resilience during challenging times.
