dc.description.abstractCAC professionals are regularly exposed to child trauma as part of their work, and this exposure can lead to Secondary Traumatic Stress, which can have negative impacts on CAC professionals and organizations if left unaddressed. The STS Blueprint: A Guide to Addressing Secondary Traumatic Stress in Children’s Advocacy Centers was designed to help CACs develop an organizational plan to address secondary traumatic stress (STS) among CAC staff. The STS Blueprint outlines the need for a tool like this and describes the importance of an organizational health approach. It covers six domains, including: Domain 1: Resilience-Building Staff, Health, and Wellness Domain 2: Creating and Sustaining a Safe and Supportive Culture Domain 3: STS-Informed Policies and Procedures Domain 4: STS-Informed Leadership and Supervision Domain 5: STS-Informed Training Domain 6: Organizational Evaluation and Monitoring
