Training Overview:
Taking care of complex clients is at times a difficult business. The people we work with suffer greatly and the stories we hear are distressing. Agencies and individuals can develop strategies for coping with the feelings that often mirror the distress of our clients. This workshop offers information about the nature of vicarious traumatization, the root causes of burnout, and helps participants and agencies develop their own methods of self-care.
Training Objectives:
- Describe the difference between flight, fight, freeze, and appease.
- Identify at least symptoms of burnout.
- Indicate at least two ways they can participate in self-care.
- Define what vicarious trauma is.
