I would like to say that I feel like our staff are very well trained, very passionate and do everything and use every strategy. I think compassion fatigue and vicarious trauma is a reality, as well as the fact that we know women carry trauma and our staff carry trauma. I think we have to invest and recognize that people should be allowed paid time off, that people should be encouraged to take a break and that the funding necessitates training and breaks and recognizes there is compassion fatigue.
We have groups that we'll have our staff go to for two hours a week just to sit down and unload things so that they can be healthier, because when they're not healthy, they're going to put clients at risk. We're not going to do that. We're going to mitigate that at every road.
