Bearing Witness: Traumatic Stress and the Helping Professional


Participants will learn to identify and monitor indicators and symptoms of secondary traumatic stress conditions and their impact. Participants will also learn to recognize important differences among vicarious trauma, secondary traumatic stress, moral injury, compassion fatigue, burnout, and their implications for job performance. We will address risk factors, signs, symptoms, and strategies for the management of these work-related conditions.

“This was an excellent presentation. It was a gift that I learned about in time to attend it. I cannot thank your program enough for making it available to the profession. Having worked for 30 years in a non-trauma informed organization that provides services to survivors and perpetrators of domestic violence, I learned from this presentation what led to my suffering. I further learned what was missing from my organization and why the lack of support is so devastating. So I thank you again.”- NJ, LCSW
