Understanding Secondary Trauma and Stress in the Early Childhood Workforce
Ruprecht, Karen; Tomlin, Angela; Perkins, Kelley J.; Viehweg, Stephan
ZERO TO THREE, v40 n4 p41-50 Mar 2020
Early care and education workers are increasingly recognizing their role in helping children who have experienced trauma, including extended parental separations due to incarceration. These children may have emotional reactions and behaviors that are particularly challenging in group settings. Moreover, early care and education professionals themselves have often had challenging experiences in their own lives. As a result, there is a need for training and support to help the workforce recognize the secondary trauma and stress associated with caring for these young children. This article will explore how to establish systems and policies that support the early care and education workforce who are on the frontlines of helping children cope with trauma.
