Vicarious Trauma and Resilience Part 1

Register: https://us06web.zoom.us/meeting/register/u1wjJXgGT0qpUj1RI-Oq0Q

Vicarious trauma is a transformative change that can occur in service providers and helpers as they witness and identify with the suffering of others. Impact increases as we work to balance professional expectations and resource limitations with personal responsibilities. Losing hope, pulling away from others, and feeling physically and emotionally exhausted, are just a few examples of the impact we might experience. Often, we criticize our own capabilities rather than recognize this human response to trauma exposure. This session will build an understanding of what puts us at risk of burnout and vicarious trauma and provide strategies to support resilience so we can continue to do this important work.
