For those you identify, please discuss why you feel that way. Is it because you are unfamiliar with this population? Is it that you are fearful of this population?

The purpose of this assignment is help build your awareness of populations that you may need to build some skills in working with. What steps would you take to gain confidence and a level of comfort in working with this population? What do you currently do for self care? What activity would you like to increase regarding self care? What "work" specific self care activity do you engage in or would you like to engage in?

There may
be situations where clinicians feel uneasy working within trauma-informed care
and mental health. This anxiety may be brought on by several things, such as
unfamiliarity, fear, past experiences, or even prejudices. To effectively offer
care and maintain personal well-being, it is crucial to identify these
uncomfortable regions and take proactive measures to resolve them.
