Portraits of Professional CAREgivers: Their Passion. Their Pain - FREE Screening for ACEs Connection Network!

 

I am excited to announce that ACEs Connection Network has partnered with the producers of the film, Portraits of Professional CAREgivers: Their Passion. Their Pain. to host a FREE SCREENING of the film for our members.  If you have been thinking of hosting a screening of CAREgivers in your community or are interested in learning more about secondary traumatic stress and what to do about it, join our ACEs Connection Network for a FREE screening of this film and a virtual chat with the producers following the film.

About the film:  

CAREgivers film features the dramatic personal stories of our care providers and public servants and the rarely discussed severe emotional and physical risks that they themselves must confront in their work. These are the remarkable stories of our teachers, therapists, nurses, doctors, hospice staff, medics, firefighters, child protective workers, and police. We ask the question: How is the care provider affected emotionally and physically, and who helps our helpers? Also what the responsibilities of our service agencies in caring not only for patients/ clients but also for their caregiving staff? 

Details for the screening:

This virtual screening will take place on Tuesday, December 6, 2016 at 11:00 AM PST/2:00 PM EST.  The film is one hour long.  RSVP is required in order to receive the link and password for the film.
