Beyond Caregiver Burnout: Understanding and Healing Caregiver-specific Trauma [with Dr. Lorre Laws]
Manage episode 447769185 series 2882255
Let’s face it, every person reading this synopsis (and hopefully listening to the accompanying podcast episode) would benefit by increased employee retention in their organization. I’m sure that you’ve lamented the loss of caregivers, direct service workers or staff that you had hoped would stick with you longer and tried to think of what causes these losses. I’m sure that burnout is one of the leading causes that comes to mind.
Our guest, Dr. Lorre Laws, is an author and research scientist who has focused her research on this very problem, and she has learned that “burnout” is an oversimplification. Her research has found that there is job-specific trauma that care professionals experience.
More importantly, Dr. Laws has ANSWERS! In her Book, Nursing Our Healer’s Heart, Dr. Laws takes the first chapter to explain her research and methods, but then the rest of the book is a chapter-by-chapter outline of ways that you can train your caregivers to recognize and overcome trauma.
Since Dr. Laws’ very first job was as a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) in a nursing home she was excited for the change to share her approaches with the home care, day services and IDD services communities. You can learn more about Dr. Laws, her research and her book by visiting DrLorreLaws.com.
