Course Description:
In this three-hour interactive workshop, participants will discuss “self-care solutions” that are often offered to relieve the effects of vicarious trauma, and how those solutions are ultimately insufficient and ineffective. Participants will be introduced to new skills focused on increasing healthy emotional engagement in trauma-work and processing their trauma-related feelings more deeply.
