Description
Partnering with staff from an agency serving survivors of domestic sex trafficking, a doctoral art therapy cohort implemented psychoeducation and art-based workshops addressing the self-care needs of agency caregivers. Workshops identified caregiver needs and provided opportunities to explore shared experiences. The panel will present findings from empirical and heuristic research.
Learning Objectives
- Attendees will be able to define the components of compassion fatigue associated with caregivers providing care to individuals who are victims and survivors of domestic sex trafficking.
- Attendees will be able to identify the elements of self-care that contribute to caregiver compassion satisfaction.
- Attendees will identify four group art directives that advance the knowledge base of effective community art-based practices that introduce new strategies for addressing self-care needs.
