Secondary Traumatic Stress and Counsellor Self-Care
The training will look at the range of factors that can lead to vicarious traumatisation and 'burn out' and put counsellors and practitioners at risk of developing Secondary Traumatic Stress (STS). It will explore the signs and symptoms of burn-out and STS and how these can be managed both individually and by organisations to ensure staff well-being. The focus will be on what counsellors can do to ensure self-care, and how managers can ensure minimising risk of STS in staff. Through a number of experiential exercises counsellors will have an opportunity to identity their own vulnerability to burn-out and explore strategies to manage the impact of working with clients so that they can remain present and engaged in their work.
