Vicarious Trauma and Resilience: Caring for Ourselves and Each Other

This workshop will be facilitated by staff of the vicarious trauma program at Aurora Family Therapy Centre.

Experiencing the struggles and hardships of our clients can be difficult as we try to balance responsibilities and expectations in work and in life. Vicarious trauma often occurs as a result of caring and identifying with the pain of others. At times, the work can feel isolating and exhausting. Celebrating growth and creating space to share experiences can encourage and sustain vicarious resilience. This intro session will build understanding of vicarious trauma and provide strategies for building resilience.
