Tip No 14 - Your safety is important too!
Finally – now that you’ve taken care of others – make sure you look after yourself.
You could be in for a long ride. You’ll be busy supporting Parents, dealing with authorities, and perhaps providing ongoing support to the child. So make sure you take time out to keep yourself healthy.
Debrief, talk to your Senior Supervisor/Team Leader/Coordinator, beware of the signs, and don’t hesitate to seek professional help if needed.
