Vicarious Traumatization

Created by Mickey Stonier and the Alliance in February of 2010, this Webinar focuses on Vicarious Traumatization. Vicarious Traumatization is known to professionals by many names - secondary victimization, secondary traumatic stress disorder and compassion fatigue. It is, simply expressed, a byproduct of care giving. This workshop involves hands on solutions which can make a dramatic difference in the professional and private lives of those working with and around trauma. It is an intensive learning experience relating to all aspects of the care giver's life and the critical work they are being asked to do. It impacts the emotional, psychological, physical, social and spiritual well being of the individual. It offers an understanding of how these areas are affected by the work they are doing and tools to prevent and treat any negative effects of this critical work.
