Professional Sustainability: Burnout & Secondary Traumatic Stress
Saturday, September 25, 2021
Burnout and STS are terms used to describe the psychological, emotional, and physical costs of working in one of the helping professions, such as healthcare, education, mental health, disaster relief, law enforcement, hospice care, and social and environmental justice.
The individuals involved in these and other similar professions pay a high emotional price because trauma can be contagious – especially for the highly empathetic, who are likely to choose professions where they will be always reaching out a hand to help others.
The impact of absorbing secondary trauma can affect both the professional and personal life and alter world view. The good news is there are healthy ways to combat this onslaught and to build positive defenses against secondary trauma.
In this course, you will evaluate your current level of burnout symptoms and secondary trauma and create a plan to manage and prevent burnout and future STS.
