You Can't Walk Through Water Without Getting Wet

Let's face it, your clients don't contact you because they're having the best day of their lives.  They are experiencing some problem they want you to fix.  They may bring with them a torrential downpour of issues: child abuse and neglect, substance use and addiction, mental health issues, employment and housing instability, domestic violence, criminal charges, and more.  Bearing witness to the suffering and trauma of your clients takes an emotional and physical toll that can’t be ignored. This course explores the impact of working with survivors of trauma, identifies individual and systemic symptoms of secondary trauma, and provides specific mindfulness-based practices to support you as you navigate the waters of secondary trauma.
