Vicarious Trauma and Compassion Fatigue

Creating a mentally healthy workplace is a journey. Developing skills and shifting mindsets require ongoing reinforcement, and the mental health learning pathway can enhance awareness and retention, keeping it top of mind for months or even years.

Description

Some job roles require a high-level of empathy, and this is true when dealing with people who experience trauma. We bear witness to this traumatic event through second hand exposure, and consequently are at risk of taking on some of that emotional pain.

The purpose of this workshop is to provide participants with an understanding of what vicarious trauma and compassion fatigue are, what they look like behaviourally, and how it can impact them inside and outside of work.

This session will also provide participants with some practical strategies for building and maintain resilience to minimise the adverse impact of vicarious trauma and compassion fatigue.
