Overview of this On-Demand Course

Working in high-stress and trauma-exposed workplaces can have a profound effect on us, the helping professionals who support others through challenging times. Has your view of the world been shifted due to repeated exposure to difficult stories? Where do those stories go at the end of the day?

This course offers an introduction to secondary traumatic stress (STS) and empathic strain, specifically designed for professionals working in trauma-exposed, high-stress environments. Led by Françoise Mathieu, a registered psychotherapist with over 25 years of experience in trauma and crisis work, this on-demand course explores the impact of trauma exposure and offers strategies and tools to stay well.

This course is suitable for anyone who works in a complex workplace including healthcare, law enforcement, social services, education, and many others.

This on-demand course is an updated and expanded version of our Compassion Fatigue 101 course first published in 2016.
