Program Description: Secondary Traumatic Stress (STS) training utilizes products from the National Child Traumatic Stress Network’s STS committee to educate human service and child serving agencies on the impact on staff of working with traumatized children and their families. Secondary Traumatic Stress is the emotional distress that results when an individual hears about the firsthand trauma experiences of another. For child-serving professionals who are exposed to details of traumatic events in the context of their work, STS is a common occupational hazard. If we know more about STS, ways to process work-related trauma exposures, and organizational level strategies to become more STS-informed, the better prepared we are to mitigate and address STS as individuals and within organizations.
Learning Objectives:
At the end of this workshop, the learner will be able to:
- List three risks associated with working with individuals who are suffering with traumatic stress symptomology
- Apply learned strategies to reduce the impact of secondary traumatic stress (STS) and support wellness in staff in child-serving organizations
- Demonstrate an understanding of and appreciation for how addressing STS is an ethical mandate for organizations and individuals working in trauma-exposed environments.
