The LMC Behavioral Intervention Team (BIT) is pleased to be hosting the following training at LMC this November:
Vicarious and Secondary Trauma: Sustaining Your Wellbeing as Someone Who Cares
This workshop will explore what happens in the brain when those in helping professions experience vicarious or secondary trauma at their jobs. In order to sustain the work, professionals need a plan for managing vicarious trauma or long-term exposure to these stressors may lead to burn-out. Therefore, the conversation will include understanding the impacts of exposure to toxic stress on health and wellbeing and how secondary traumas can affect the workforce overall. In addition, the workshop will include exploration of evidence-based practices to support recovery from vicarious trauma including the importance of protected spaces.
BIT is pleased to be working with Cypress Resilience Project, who will lead and facilitate the training.
The training will take place in-person at the Pittsburg campus on Friday, November 7, 2025, from 1:00 - 2:30pm.
