'Spent’: Burnout and vicarious trauma

Vicarious trauma is the hurt from witnessing and working alongside those who have experienced trauma. This workshop offers a way of understanding vicarious trauma beyond the individual. The content is highly interactive and draws on CASA House’s intersectional and trauma-informed frameworks to support participants to build:

• Foundational knowledge on vicarious trauma and burnout
• Systemic and structural understanding of vicarious trauma
• Strategies for preventing and resisting vicarious trauma
• Structural, professional and organisational approaches
