About the webinar

Hearing about other people’s trauma can affect practitioners. This webinar gives practitioners, supervisors and managers a clear, current understanding of vicarious trauma: how it develops, how it can affect work and home life, and the evidence on what helps protect against it. It is the one-hour companion to our half-day Vicarious Trauma workshop.
