After such a fantastic response to our recent interview with Brad Bogue, in which we re-examined the sanctity of the Needs Principle, we decided to go back and highlight portions of that episode. Brad speaks of how Low Self Regulation and Social Support are critical in the change process for justice involved individuals...and human service clients in general. Are we asking too much of practitioners who abide by the Risk-Need-Responsivity model? Would it behoove us to get really good at one thing, rather than "just OK" at several tasks? And what would that look like moving forward? Listen and learn my friends!!       

Self Care strategies for the Helping Professional are covered in  Part 3 of our three part series with Dr. Jerrod Brown.  Vicarious Trauma and Compassion Fatigue are one of many relevant topics discussed in the final segment of this trilogy with Dr. Brown. Listen and learn  of some important yet simple things we can all do to address the cost of doing business for many practitioners.
