This training focuses on the role of caregivers and their potential for susceptibility to Vicarious Trauma (also known as Secondary Trauma and Compassion Fatigue). Presented by the Crisis Response Project, the training is intended for Direct Support Professionals, Administrators, friends, and family members. Throughout the training, we will discuss signs and symptoms of Vicarious Trauma, as well as the steps that we, as caregivers, can take to protect ourselves from burn out. The importance of self-care will be thoroughly reviewed.
