The Journey Begins

This is the first blog post in Running in Our Shoes: reflections on being a social worker, educator, runner, woman, and human.

I'm attending the San Diego International Conference on Child and Family Maltreatment this week.  One of the themes of the conference is secondary traumatic stress, which is a subject I've been researching this past year.  Secondary traumatic stress has related concepts such as compassion fatigue, vicarious trauma, and burnout.  

While in San Diego, I'm also enjoying the warm weather, a reprieve from my home of Iowa's winter.  4.5 miles yesterday and more to be logged today.
