Why attend:

Clinicians in the mental health field are often exposed to the emotional and psychological weight of their clients’ trauma, which can lead to vicarious trauma. This condition can severely impact both personal well-being and professional effectiveness. During this seminar, we will explore:

  • The definition and impact of vicarious trauma on clinicians and clinical practice.
  • Practical self-care strategies, including mindfulness techniques and boundary-setting, to manage emotional strain.
  • How to create a trauma-informed, supportive work environment that reduces the risk of vicarious trauma.
  • Steps to implement personal and professional preventative measures to maintain long-term well-being.


Learning Outcomes:
By the end of the seminar, participants will be able to:
  1. Identify the signs and symptoms of vicarious trauma in themselves.
  2. Develop practical, sustainable strategies for emotional resilience and self-care.
  3. Implement organizational changes that promote a healthy, trauma-informed work environment.
Who should Attend:

This seminar is intended for all clinicians, including:

  • Psychiatrists
  • Psychologists
  • Social Workers
  • Counselors
  • Therapists
  • Nurse practitioners
  • Nurses


Why this Matters

Understanding and addressing vicarious trauma is vital for maintaining the mental and emotional health of clinicians. Without proper intervention, vicarious trauma can lead to burnout, compassion fatigue, and impaired clinical judgment, ultimately affecting the quality of care provided. This seminar is a proactive step toward supporting clinicians and promoting resilience in the face of daily emotional challenges.

Here's what attendees have been saying about SWEET seminars:

"The presentation helped me understand the various reasons for why people engage in behavior of lying. I appreciated the topic and would highly recommend to others." - Shari, LSW

"The information teaches us how to work with depression rather than about depression. Practical and useable info that can transfer to treatment sessions. Skill building in action and empowering." - Audrey, LCSW

"I like the review of previously covered materials and the concreteness of the principles and concepts taught. It pulls it together for those of us who find it hard to "study" in between classes." - Sharon, LSCSW
