Long-term exposure to the trauma of others can impact the well-being of families, professionals and caregivers and lead to vicarious trauma. However, with the proper tools and network of support we can transform these experiences into vicarious resilience. Monica Urbaniak, a consultant, trainer and clinician specializing in sexual assault and trauma, provides practical and effective tools for professionals, organizations and families exposed to trauma, including the "assess, balance and connect" approach, the need for ongoing self-care and much more. This episode is brimming with tools, tips and ideas to keep thriving through challenges in our work with survivors and in our professional and personal relationships.
