Topic:             Vicarious Trauma and Practical Strategies to Decrease Effect

Presenter:       Pamela Jackson, MSW

Webcast Details:

Vicarious Trauma is a very real and very normal reaction to working with people who have experienced trauma. Vicarious trauma is defined as a process through which an individual’s inner experience is negatively transformed through empathic engagement with trauma material. This presentation will discuss some of the ways that we may be affected by our work, and some very real and practical strategies that we can implement to decrease this effect.
