Support for Child and Youth Care practitioners?

Hello,

I am wondering if anyone is aware of any narrative studies having been completed with Child and Youth Care practitioner family support systems? In particular I am looking for partners’ impressions on how individuals in Child and Youth Care change due to the challenges of the job – PTSD, vicarious trauma, burnout and/or compassion fatigue. Are there resources/workshops available to partners of CYCPs who are struggling and need support in their home, outside of traditional counseling?

Thank you and be well.
