Overview

Assisting Staff Exposed to Trauma Through Their Work
Provide professionals in emotionally demanding roles with a grounded introduction to vicarious trauma and its potential effects. This course examines how repeated exposure to other people's distress, trauma, or suffering can influence wellbeing, professional judgement, and the capacity to continue working effectively. Designed for employers who want to protect and sustain their people, the programme brings together awareness, reflective practice, and trauma-informed approaches. It gives teams a practical basis for recognising when emotional exposure may be taking a toll and responding in a considered way.
Why this Training Matters for your Organisation
Roles involving care, support, safeguarding, crisis response, or trauma disclosure can carry an emotional weight that is not always visible. Without appropriate recognition and support, the cumulative impact can affect staff resilience, attendance, decision-making, and retention. Building awareness of vicarious trauma allows organisations to take a more informed approach to staff wellbeing and create conditions in which difficult work can be undertaken more sustainably.
Who Should Attend
This course is suitable for:
  • Professionals whose roles involve regular contact with people who have experienced trauma, loss, abuse, or significant distress.
  • Staff working in health, care, safeguarding, support, emergency, or other emotionally intensive services.
  • Managers responsible for supporting teams exposed to challenging cases or disclosures.

Duration and Delivery
