Helping the Helper: Burnout, Compassion Fatigue, Vicarious Trauma -Recognizing Signs, Symptoms and How to Care for Yourself.
Description
Life is busy and we often forget to care for ourselves because we get lost in caring for those around us. This presentation is focused on the providers within trauma based care services. Recognizing what our mind, bodies, and souls are telling us is key to long lasting resiliency in this line of work. This presentation will help you define vicarious trauma, burnout, compassion fatigue and contributing factors. Furthermore we will help you recognize signs and symptoms you may experience as you are challenged with these barriers. Lastly, together we will work on creating a list of self-care activities.
Objectives:
1. Define vicarious trauma, burnout, and compassion fatigue and contributing factors.
2. Identify signs & symptoms of these elements.
3. Design a set of self care activities to aid in preventing these elements.
