About the Event
“When I try to sleep the images keep replaying over and over”
“I just can't switch off, I keep thinking I have made a mistake"
"I'm exhausted, we are exhausted, it is like we are not making a difference to anyone"
These are the statements of health care professionals, and first responders who are not describing their own traumatic experiences but their experiences of helping others, and in particular during the Covid-19 pandemic. At this event we discover what vicarious trauma is, what it isn’t and how it fits with compassion fatigue and burnout. We identify who is at risk and seek to develop strategies to combat it.
As a clinical supervisor to first responders, frontline health professionals, cancer nurse specialists and end of life care teams, Nicola Forshaw has extensive experience of supporting other professionals through the rigours of their work. Anyone who seeks to soothe the distress of others is at risk of vicarious trauma, compassion fatigue and burnout. So, together, let's understand it, learn from it, and develop growthful and resilient coping strategies both for ourselves and others.
This is a half day event, and you will be working within a group of 6 or less. Light refreshments, humour and respect are all included.
