Vicarious Trauma Mitigation For Managers
Learn to respond well if anyone in your team is exposed to indirect trauma
Description
If you immerse yourself in the suffering and trauma of others at work, it is common to suffer emotional consequences such as burnout, cynicism or depression.
This training aims to help managers and HR do the right thing in the event that a team or individual under their responsibility is exposed to vicarious or indirect trauma.
You’ll learn how Vicarious Trauma can impact people, and how to develop strategies to mitigate risks. You’ll also explore how to make your organisation more ‘vicarious trauma-informed’ by reviewing your leadership, mission, work environment, training and more. And you’ll start to develop a bespoke action plan for your team.
