The Cost of Caring: Supporting the Well-being of BIT/CARE Team Members

Campus professionals on BIT/CARE teams, in student conduct, counseling, and student support roles are carrying more than ever: more student needs, more crisis response, more emotional labor. And while we’re great at showing up for others, we’re not always great at building systems that support us. Join Drs. Chris Taylor and Brielle Stark-Adler for a practical, honest, and energizing webinar that goes beyond “just take care of yourself” and dives into real tools and structural solutions for teams who hold the hardest work on campus.

You’ll learn:

• What burnout, compassion fatigue, and vicarious trauma really look like in higher ed.
• How “role-based fatigue” wears down the go-to helpers on your campus.
• The neuroscience of stress and how it shows up in our bodies and teams.
• Micro-practices for resetting in the moment and modeling that as a team.
• Concrete, system-level changes leaders can make to build a culture of sustainability: comp time, debriefing, workload rotation, and more.

This session is for anyone doing frontline student support work, and especially for supervisors and team leads who want to build a more humane and resilient culture.

InterACTT has teamed with DPrep Safety to share these monthly conversations related to threat and violence risk assessment in K-12, college, and workplace cases.
