Self-care is very important for those working with at-risk children and youth. Especially when it comes to trauma. Childhood trauma is very common, therefore it is extremely likely that you, as a Child & Youth Worker, also experienced traumatic events in your childhood.
So, what can you do? Recognize this. Prioritize your mental health. Seek out the resources that will support you. Never underestimate the power of knowledge.
In addition, reflection on your work and personal experiences, will help you to be the best Child & Youth Worker you can be.
