Session Type: Workshop

Our world has faced unprecedented challenges in recent times. Social unrest, a worldwide pandemic and uncertainty about the future have stretched people to their limits and beyond. Professionals working in community corrections already experience a tremendous emotional burden in their day-to-day work. Coping with the changing landscape of post-pandemic supervision is an ongoing process and leaders are charged with managing these shifts and maintaining high standards with a wary, concerned, and deflated workforce. Learn strategies to be an emotionally present leader in an increasingly remote world, maximize the potential of staff by embracing obstacles and acknowledging struggles and demonstrate self-awareness and self-care for lasting resiliency.
