Description:
CE-CERT is a trauma-informed and skills-based model for improving wellness, and reducing secondary traumatic stress and burn-out among helping professionals. CECERT was developed by Dr. Brian Miller (2017). As a skills model for individual workers to learn and apply, CE-CERT empowers individuals to improve their own wellness with skills under their control. Additionally, CE-CERT is a model for supervisors and leadership to learn and apply in their organizational culture and supervision of workers.
Target Audience:
A career in the helping professions can be both extremely rewarding and challenging. This is true for healthcare providers, teachers, case managers, peer support, therapists, support personnel and all members of organizations that are tasked with supporting others in healing, health, and growth. Workers may experience burn-out, compassion fatigue, secondary traumatic stress, and both work satisfaction and performance may be impacted.
Core Concepts:
CE-CERT consists of five developmental skills that can be cultivated to maintain emotion regulation of practitioners during helping sessions with persons who may be dealing with difficult circumstances. The aim of the skill development is to improve emotion regulation and to increase the meaningfulness of the job and satisfaction in the vocation. The five skill domains are:
1. Feeling the Feels (Experiential Engagement)
2. Stopping the Spin (Decreasing Rumination)
3.Creating Your Story (Conscious Narrative)
4. Finding Joy (Reducing Emotional Labor)
5. Reset and Recover (Parasympathetic Recovery)
