Participants will be introduced to the 7 domains of Trauma Informed Care and ways that their organization can address those domains. The presentation will focus on the impact of trauma on treatment providers such as therapists and case managers. Important concepts such as vicarious trauma, secondary stress, compassion fatigue, burnout, and resilience will be defined and discussed. Warning signs of vicarious traumatization and burnout and strategies for self-care will be discussed. Finally, the important role of supervisors in preventing vicarious traumatization and burnout will be discussed. There will be a focus on concrete strategies that peer support staff can use to help clients who have experienced trauma. In particular, methods of working with individuals in emotional distress, reflective listening principles, and motivational interviewing techniques will be discussed and applied to real life examples.
