Vicarious trauma webinar: How teachers, educators and other professionals who work with children and young people can recognise, support and work towards preventing vicarious trauma within their organisation.
Working with children and young people who have trauma histories can be particularly challenging due to the high level of behavioural, emotional and psychological dysregulation and resultant complications.
Teachers, educators and support teams can have all the best of intentions. However, often their dedication can lead to the development of vicarious trauma and burnout when exposed to the different challenges faced by children and young people that they engage with on a daily basis.
This webinar will focus on how teachers and educators can recognise and prevent burnout, stay healthy by acknowledging the importance of self-care and establishing a supportive environment that recognises vicarious trauma.
What you will learn about
- Recognising the warning signs of vicarious trauma: physical, behavioural, emotional and psychological.
- Identifying individual risk and resiliency factors.
- Learning about wellness and self-care practice plans for yourself and your team.

- Creating strategies and communication that will contribute towards building a successful support network within your entire organisation.
