When we hear stories of child abuse, family violence, child abduction, and other deeply traumatic incidents, we depend on faith in the fact that the professionals helping these children and families have the training and experience needed to make sure that healing can begin and justice is upheld. It’s too easy to take for granted that the police officer talking to an abused child, the social worker supporting a family, and the therapist helping someone work through the deepest of traumas has likely never worked a case just like this or with a person just like that. We don’t dwell on the fact that each of these workers is also absorbing some of the trauma and still having to find the strength to get up and work another day.
