Vicarious Trauma could be defined as the transformation within that occurs in a person because of empathetic engagement with another person’s trauma experiences. Such engagement includes contact with survivors of violence or disaster, witnessing cruelty and loss and of hearing distressing stories, day after day. This networking event looks at the various aspects of work-related trauma exposure and how we can build vicarious resilience, transformation and compassion satisfaction. With facilitation lead by Deirdre McLaughlin –  Independent trainer and consultant in areas including trauma, attachment, resilience and trauma informed practice.
