Vicarious Trauma and Resilience
For professionals and front-line workers who deal with the impacts of trauma every day.
We’re together on the front lines of trauma response. And we need to take care of ourselves and each other.
If you deal with the public, you come face to face with the impacts of trauma – and that takes it’s toll. It’s called vicarious trauma and it’s the suffering we face when we deal with anothers’ suffering.
It’s important work and not everyone can do it. All the more reason we need tools and supports to keep ourselves well.
We can help.
Our services include mentorship for promoting wellness in the workplace, educational training, and workshops for all levels of service and care providers and support for establishing communities of practice.
Our goal is to foster resilience by focusing on the importance of compassion for self as well as others, and the necessity of taking care of ourselves physically, emotionally, spiritually, and relationally. This creates a starting point where those generally focused on the care of others can consider the need for their own wellbeing as best-practice to continue working in a meaningful, effective and sustainable way.
