This training focuses on recognizing and addressing staff vulnerabilities encountered when supporting the healing and recovery of individuals with histories of trauma. Hearing details of the traumatic experiences of others can result in Trauma Exposure Response and its complications such as vicarious traumatization and secondary trauma. Tools to assess the impact of the work on staff and strategies for preventing and addressing Trauma Exposure Response will be presented including a peer consultation model for use formally or informally that provides staff mutual support.
