About This Course

Staff are exposed to trauma regularly when working in marginalized and traumatized communities. This exposure to trauma can change how they see the world and take an emotional and behavioral toll. Managing these changes thoughtfully is important to keeping client-facing work sustainable and ensuring staff can provide trauma-informed care to their clients. In this training, participants will learn more about processes of vicarious trauma and build their own capacity to address vicarious trauma intentionally through self-reflection, nervous system mapping, and idea sharing.

Learning Objectives: 

• Understand the definitions, processes, and symptoms of vicarious trauma, vicarious traumatization, and vicarious resilience.
• Build tools and strategies to mitigate vicarious trauma in their work, through reflection on their own experience of vicarious trauma.
• Recognize traumatization and its causes and impacts as parallel in process to clients’ experience of traumatization cognitively and physiologically.

Intended Audience: 

All direct services staff, supervisors, and administrators.
