Semester:N/A
This course is designed to provide participants with an introduction to:
- trauma and the impact of trauma on the whole person.
- vicarious trauma, burnout and compassion fatigue (an introduction to the impact and implication of client traumas on those who work directly or indirectly with clients).
- tools for preventing and managing vicarious trauma, burnout, and compassion fatigue.
Note: The term trauma is used in various contexts. This course focuses on the trauma that results specifically from interactions between people, not the trauma resulting from environmental disasters. It is also not meant as a personal therapy modality.
