Vicarious Trauma

Resilience for a Healthy Workplace

Vicarious Trauma Training is essential for individuals or teams working on helplines or other supportive roles, as it helps individuals recognise and cope with the indirect emotional impact of others' trauma. By understanding vicarious trauma, team members can develop healthier ways to manage the emotional toll of their work, leading to better overall well-being and preventing burnout.

This course aims to enhance resilience and sustainable practice, ensuring that the team can continue providing high-quality support to those in need without compromising their own mental health.

I am so grateful for this training and all the other you organised so far. There are so many insights, and there is time to really reflect on oneself and coping mechanisms, and I have found them all very impactful for my job.
