Vicarious Trauma

The ripple effect

Traumatic events often have a second wave of impact on the professionals who support the direct survivors, resulting in the “ripple effect” of vicarious trauma. This course explores the impacts of vicarious trauma on professionals and how we can prepare for and recover from it.

  • The nature of vicarious trauma
  • Preparing for adversity
  • Recognising symptoms
