WORK-RELATED STRESS AND VICARIOUS TRAUMA

Doing work where you support people who have been harmed by other people perpetrating violence, abuse, or oppression, can be a source of strength and enrichment. It can also be challenging for our minds, bodies and spirit.

This workshop provides a unique opportunity for practitioners to explore and reflect on how this work can offer both welcome and unwelcome changes within ourselves, how our responses are shaped by social, cultural and political landscapes, and the importance of individually and collectively finding ways to connect with values, meaning, safety, and care.

In this workshop, you will have space to reflect on actions you and your team/organisation can take, which may be protective in the face of work-related stress and vicarious trauma.
