I am delighted to announce that my esteemed colleague Dr Pat Fisher has launched her new online course: “When working hurts – effectively addressing stress in trauma-informed workplaces.” In my opinion, this is such a timely e-course. There is no program out there that even comes close to matching this course’s depth, breadth and quality. With this e-course, we get to benefit from Dr. Fisher’s many years of experience in the field of trauma and organizational health. In my opinion, taking this course should be required for all human service personnel, front line staff, health care workers, law enforcement and other high stress professions. I am fully endorsing this online training and have become an affiliate site for anyone wishing to purchase it. See below for more information.

This cutting edge E-course has been made possible by recent innovations in E-learning technology, combined with the remarkable advances in new research along with our rich experience with program participants over the past decade.

We also know much more about how to effectively manage these specialized stresses and how to recover from their harmful effects.

- A sophisticated understanding of the mechanisms and effects of workplace stress and trauma in your environment
- Tools to identify the sources of resilience and risk in your workplace and personal life
- Self-assessment profiles of your current risk for workplace systemic and traumatic stress
- Self-assessment profiles of your current levels of self-care in your personal and work life
- Self-assessment profiles of your current levels of stress symptoms and effect
- Tools to develop an effective and practical wellness plan for your personal life

This free webinar came across my google alerts this morning:
March 3, 2010 – Compassion Fatigue
LCDR Pamela Herbig – Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, Clinical Nurse Specialist and Director, Uniformed Services University of Health Sciences as Director of the PMH-NP program.
I don’t know the organisers or the presenter, but Rocky Mountain Learning seems to be a really interesting agency who specialises in bringing training to folks through webinars and other distance learning modules.
As I gear up to leave my young kids for five days (nearly the longest ever), the idea of doing more and more web-based training is highly appealling to me, let alone the significant cost savings for all involved (no travel, no hotels, etc.)
So, if you’re free on March 3, consider signing up for this training and let me know what you think, both of the content and the learning medium.
