When Helping Hurts:  Understanding Vicarious Trauma
Nonprofit organizations play a vital role in supporting people who have experienced traumatic events and conditions such as abuse, violence, and poverty.  No matter your role in a nonprofit organization—direct client services, administration, maintenance, or management-- your work likely involves assisting people who have experienced trauma. Do you ever feel like it is taking a toll on you? Vicarious trauma, also known as compassion fatigue or secondary traumatic stress, is an on-the-job hazard for all nonprofit professionals.  It can affect our feelings about the work, personal lives, and services to clients.  So, how do you ensure that you are taking care of yourself when you feel the effects of vicarious trauma? How can organizations provide a supportive environment for coping with vicarious trauma?  This skill-building workshop will increase awareness of vicarious trauma and its signs and symptoms, introduce shared language on the impact of trauma, provide opportunity to connect with peers, and offer a framework for developing self-care and support plans to manage vicarious trauma.
In this workshop, participants will be able to: 
1)      Describe vicarious trauma, who it can impact, and what it looks like
2)      Use shared language to discuss trauma and vicarious trauma
3)      Identify skills and tips to help manage vicarious trauma
 
This workshop will be led by Sherina Davis.
