If you immerse yourself in the suffering and trauma of others at work, it is common to suffer emotional consequences. When these symptoms become severe and debilitating, we call it vicarious trauma.

Working in a refugee camp. Counselling others. Reviewing graphic material on social media. It can be an occupational hazard in many jobs. If you or your organisation lacks awareness of how vicarious trauma works, it can lead to burnout, cynicism and depression. This training session will help you understand how to manage and reduce the risk of vicarious trauma, and learn to take practical steps to develop your resilience.
