Vicarious Trauma & Low-Impact Debriefing
Presented by Amanda Rocheleau
Helping professionals are regularly exposed to intense human experiences that involve struggle, trauma and big emotions. As we hold space for the suffering in the other, it can sometimes seep into our own experience and cause vicarious trauma which eventually contributes to a profound shift in the helper's perception of the world and personal safety. This brief workshop, informed by current research, explores the nature, dynamics and risks of vicarious trauma and teaches participants effective and practical strategies for managing indirect trauma exposure.
This Webinar is FREE for Ontario Registered Social Workers (RSW), Registered Social Service Workers (RSSW) and Students of Social Work and Social Service Work Programs. Please note: If you are not an RSW, RSSW or student of these programs in Ontario, you may still attend but will be charged a nominal fee of $15.
