Webinar Description:
Health providers working in Indigenous communities often hold deep, trusting relationships with those they serve, which can expose them to repeated stories of trauma, grief, and loss. Over time, this can lead to vicarious trauma—a shift in a helper’s internal experience resulting from empathetic engagement with others’ suffering. Without intentional self-care and support, vicarious trauma can affect emotional wellbeing, job satisfaction, and personal relationships.
This one-hour webinar will introduce participants to the concept of vicarious trauma and provide culturally grounded, practical strategies for self-care and resilience. It will highlight the importance of community, connection, and cultural practices as sources of strength and healing. Through reflection and discussion, participants will learn how to recognize the signs of vicarious trauma in themselves and others, and explore ways to maintain wellness while continuing to provide compassionate care.
