With the DSM-5 definition of “trauma” now including exposure to others’ trauma as type of traumatic event, it is increasingly recognized that the competencies toolkit for clinicians working with traumatized clients should include recognizing and ameliorating the potential effects of exposure to secondary traumatic stress. Based on the Resilience for Trauma-Informed Professionals (R-TIP; Kerig, 2019) curriculum, this workshop will introduce participants to evidence-informed techniques that are designed to foster preparedness, resilience, and adaptive coping in the face of secondary exposure to trauma, and will emphasize the practical application and dissemination of these skills in real-world contexts. There will be time allocated for live Q and A. Participants will also receive an archive version of the program.  Original webcast date: April 24, 2020.

1. Identify effective strategies for coping in the presence of, and restoring emotional, cognitive, and physiological balance in the aftermath of, exposure to secondary traumatic stress.
