Vicarious trauma: impact, solutions & prevention (CPD course)

CPD: 3 points

If your agency/ organisation supports people with experiences of psychological trauma – this can have an adverse effect on supporting staff and a range of other professionals.

Typical effects include: burnout, negativity, cynicism, absenteeism, high turnover of staff and a range of debilitating psychological effects. While these are normal responses to working with traumatised people, they are preventable and can be worked with to the benefit of staff, their clients, and improved organisational success.

Women’s Aid offers half a day in-house training to agencies/ organisations by request on the topic of: ‘Vicarious trauma: impact, solutions and prevention’.

This comprehensive course is available by request. Contact [email protected] to inquire.
