Description

Those who work with victims of various types of violence can experience compassion fatigue and burnout when they feel they are unable to meet the needs of the people they work with. Providing tools to these workers, to increase feelings of competence and to address the needs of the victims they work with, improves outcomes for both parties. Workers being able to address feelings and experiences of vicarious trauma can prevent burnout and allow them to continue to do this important work.
