Trauma Stewardship: An Everyday Guide to Caring for Self While Caring for Others

By on January 14, 2013 in OTHER resources

Hi all!

My name is Carley Flanery and I am a new intern from the University of Michigan working with Brenda Carney and Rachel Jacobsen. “Trauma Stewardship” is the book that I recommended during our professional development training on Suicide Risk Assessment. The following information is from the “Trauma Stewardship” website:

Inside the BookTrauma Stewardship

From the Introduction

The essayist E. B. White once wrote that the early American author, naturalist, and philosopher Henry Thoreau appeared to have been “torn by two powerful and opposing drives—the desire to enjoy the world, and the urge to set the world straight.”

This book is written for anyone who is doing work with an intention to make the world more sustainable and hopeful—all in all, a better place—and who, through this work, is exposed to the hardship, pain, crisis, trauma, or suffering of other living beings or the planet itself. It is for those who notice that they are not the same people they once were, or are being told by their families, friends, colleagues, or pets that something is different about them.

This book is a navigational tool for remembering that we have options at every step of our lives. We choose our own path. We can make a difference without suffering; we can do meaningful work in a way that works for us and for those we serve. We can enjoy the world and set it straight. We can leave a legacy that embodies our deepest wisdom and greatest gifts instead of one that is burdened with our struggles and despair.

*The book can also be purchased from sites like Amazon or Barnes & Noble.
