About This Course

Burnout affects workers across occupations.  It affects individuals and the organizations where they work as burnout contributes to use of sick leave, attrition and overall job dissatisfaction.  Secondary trauma is the result of repeatedly hearing the traumatic experiences of others.  Secondary trauma can lead to secondary traumatic stress, a disorder like post-traumatic stress disorder or to burnout.  

This training is designed for anyone who works with traumatized individuals.  Burnout and secondary trauma will be defined along with the demographics of the issues and ways to assess for each.  The symptoms and treatments for burnout and secondary trauma will be presented along with ways to increase resilience and prevent them.  Finally, creating a peer support group for trauma and burnout will be discussed along with a final practice on creating a resilience plan.
