Presented by Margaux Helm, LMFT

In these uncertain times, including Covid, climate change and political unrest, we as mental health professionals, are more susceptible to vicarious trauma and burnout.  Working from home and online can add to challenges navigating our professional and personal well being.  In this training we will have the opportunity to explore how our collective climate is impacting us. We will be able to identify symptoms of vicarious trauma that can create issues with counter-transference and boundaries. We will discuss the antidotes to vicarious trauma and create a resiliency plan to sustain our hopefulness and professionalism. 

In the second part of the presentation, there will be a panel of experienced LMFTs who work in various settings and with different populations such as couples, youth and marginalized populations. They will share the impact of vicarious trauma in their careers, particularly over the last two years, and how they have been coping. There will be time for discussion and connecting with your colleagues to help replenish you and your work.
