Fact Sheet 9 - Vicarious Trauma

Hello All,

Throughout our course and throughout the discussions around trauma we have to remind ourselves of wellness and self care.

With the Personalized Approaches to Self Care I wanted to also add a very good 'fact sheet' on  vicarious trauma   ( also called compassion fatigue).

Best,

Lynn

Hello Everyone,

I am quite passionate about working with at risk girls.    During my career as an administrator I was fortunate to attend many conferences specific to justice for women and girls.   Two pioneers in the field ( Covington and Bloom) presented many workshops.   I was honored at one of the conferences to spend a long break and over tea talk with these amazing women.

I will add more to this blog regarding the work being done with trauma through the lens of women and girls.

Attached is  a powerpoint from one of the conferences I just mentioned.
