Presenting


Vicarious Trauma and its affects on our work


A free* two hour workshop presented prior to our General Membership meeting.


Description:

Experiencing trauma happens every day to everyone regardless how of small or how extreme the incidents happen which ranges from losing a job, a death of a pet or a loved one, witnessing or experiencing violence, being in an accident, experiencing wildfires to tornadoes to earthquakes, and so on.  Often times, people who have experienced trauma do not deal with how much it affects them and go right back to doing what they always do.  Many people are willing to help others who have experienced trauma, which affects them and causes vicarious trauma, or secondary trauma. Deaf and hard of hearing people experience trauma more often than those who are able to hear. The reasons range from the basic issue of not being able to hear, not having equal access to the media such as in natural disasters, and not having the wide spread support that the mainstream population has access to. 


What is trauma?  What does it look like? And how can we reduce the effects of being so traumatized? How many people do you know are so burnt out, so tired, feeling so down or so anxious?  This workshop will explain all the different kinds of trauma, the impact it has on people, and how to take care of yourself in the face of trauma.
