Navigate the risk of vicarious trauma and compassion fatigue, and learn how you can stay safe through various techniques.
Any professional who works with trauma is potentially at risk of burnout, secondary traumatic stress, compassion fatigue, and vicarious trauma. Trauma can have a huge impact on our nervous system.

The webinar is suitable for both students and qualified counsellors, psychotherapists, social workers, psychologists, support workers, GPs, psychiatrists, hypnotherapists, as well as any other mental health professional who works with trauma or wants to work with traumatised clients.
