Please secure your oxygen masks! Signs of vicarious trauma and self care techniques

We are a traumatized field, working with traumatized clients, sending them to a traumatized community. Each day, many of us are asked to do more with less.  We love what we do and sometimes our cup is simply half empty.  This webinar will explore the signs of vicarious trauma and emphasize some self-care techniques. How do we go from Compassion Fatigue to Compassion Satisfaction and regain the love for the work we do?
