Trauma Exposure and Trauma Response: A practical guide to caring for yourself and others during COVID-19

We’ve all heard that we need to put our own oxygen mask on first to care for others, but what does that mean in the context of community trauma? The impact of trauma exposure, whether we call it compassion fatigue, vicarious traumatization or empathic strain, is real. However, our response to this exposure can make all the difference in our ability to weather the storm and find healing. In response to what we have heard service providers are experiencing during this stressful time, we offer this workshop to give you practical tools from trauma research and treatment that we all can use to take care for ourselves while caring for others, especially older adults.
