Strategies for Leading During Times of Trauma, Loss and End-of-Life   

Social work administrators and supervisors in healthcare settings encounter intense emotional demands, limited resources, and patients/families navigating sudden health changes or the end-of-life daily. Caring for others is a spiritual act, that without adequate support and intentional strengthening, can negatively impact social workers’ quality of life, heighten the risk of vicarious traumatization, disconnection from employees, and burnout. Drawing on Fry’s Spiritual Leadership Model, this case-based course describes best practices for promoting workplace spirituality as a means of reducing organizational distress, fostering sustainability, and enhancing employee well-being. This course explores the impact of trauma on leaders and presents evidence-based strategies for meaning-making and professional growth from the personal and leadership standpoints.

Learning Objectives:

1. Discuss the personal and professional impact of vicarious traumatization on the well-being of

    healthcare professionals & organizations.

2. Analyze Fry’s Spiritual Leadership Model in relation to promoting workplace spirituality and

    well-being advancing micro and macro level practice utilizing case studies.

3. Describe best practices in empowering social work employees and mitigating burnout.

4. Identify personal and professional beliefs or practices that could implicitly affect integration of   

    the Model into practice.
