Do you work with, or have you worked with individuals who have experienced human trafficking or exploitation?&nbsp;&nbsp;If so, you already know this work doesn&#39;t stay at the office. It follows you home in the faces you can&#39;t forget, the cases that keep you up, and the weight that quietly accumulates over time. What many professionals experience, including exhaustion, cynicism, emotional numbness, hypervigilance, boundary erosion, depression, physical discomfort (headaches, stomach aches, chronic pain or fatigue), even a loss of life meaning, is not simply burnout, and it has a name: It is vicarious trauma. It has symptoms. And for most people, it goes unacknowledged until it becomes impossible to ignore.&nbsp; Come join the conversation and learn how to live with vicarious trauma! In this training, participants will experience:<ul fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: inherit;"><li fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: inherit;">A safe environment for deepening their understanding about their own personal experience of vicarious trauma, including opportunity for reflection and self-assessment;</li><li fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: inherit;">Practice and plan new individual and organizational strategies to heal from and mitigate future vicarious trauma in the workplace; and</li><li fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: inherit;">Collaborative community support that normalizes the experience of vicarious trauma and equips attendees in their healing journeys.</li></ul>&nbsp;American Sign Language Interpretation will be provided in person and online. Please answer the accommodations question on your registration form if you need this.
