Recognizing the Effects of Secondary Traumatic Stress & Burnout – July 24

RECOGNIZING THE EFFECTS OF SECONDARY TRAUMATIC STRESS & BURNOUT 

ON SERVICE PROVIDERS, CLINICIANS & CAREGIVERS ASSISTING THE MILITARY & VETERAN POPULATION

Treating and supporting the brave men and women who have served our country can be extremely satisfying, and most individuals who choose this line of work find it to be very rewarding.

Nevertheless, over time, working with the military and veteran population — particularly with those who have endured traumatic experiences — can become increasingly stressful and can at times lead to some common burdening reactions. Burnout, secondary traumatic stress, vicarious trauma, and compassion fatigue are some of the terms used to describe the emotional impact that some providers experience when working with individuals who have experienced traumatic events.

This dynamic and interactive training will provide information on how to recognize signs of secondary traumatic stress and burnout and how to overcome these through self-care and self-soothing techniques.

This seminar is designed to help you:

  • Recognize the difference between secondary traumatic stress, compassion fatigue, vicarious trauma and burnout;
  • Appraise secondary trauma and burnout through the use of self-report instruments;
  • Recognize the signs of secondary trauma and burnout;
  • Gain knowledge about self-awareness and professional boundaries/limitations;
  • Understand the difference between coping skills and self-soothing skills and how to use them to decrease secondary trauma and burnout symptoms;
  • Develop personal management plans utilizing self-care and self-soothing techniques and activities
