Friday and Saturday
My Capstone Project session is relevant for helping professionals and volunteers, as well as family members and friends, caring for individuals who have experienced trauma. The learning agenda includes the following topics: 1) the definition of Secondary Traumatic Stress (STS), 2) the importance of addressing STS, 3) STS exposure pathways, 4) vicarious post traumatic growth, 5) compassion for self and others, and 5) experiential contemplative compassion-based practices for addressing STS.
