Vicarious Trauma

The cumulative effects of responding to emotional and distressing contacts can negatively impact on a person's social behaviours, emotional wellbeing, physical health, and cognitive reasoning.

Our interactive, insightful course will explore the distinction between vicarious trauma, compassion fatigue and burnout. How the complex nature of calls can create risk and how helpline workers can respond. We review signs and symptoms of vicarious trauma, the tools to measure and creating a selfcare toolkit to mitigate the impact of vicarious trauma. .
