Reflective Practice FAN Training and Consultation for Judges, Attorneys, and Caseworkers

Why You Need Reflective Practice

Working with at-risk children and families can be emotionally and physically exhausting. Judges often feel isolated in their roles as decision-makers, and attorneys and caseworkers can be impacted by the factors present in child welfare cases, which may even lead to vicarious trauma. Ongoing use of reflective practice can mitigate these effects.

" This has been a very positive experience for my office, and we all look forward to it. It had a very positive impact on our morale, and helped us to understand our similarities that we may not have been aware of and to better understand our differences to better work together while also supporting each other given the demanding field within which we work. It is emotional work that we do on a daily basis, so this provides an outlet to vent, work on solutions, and support each other. Much of our success is directly due to the environment created by our facilitator."
