Road safety charity announces crucial training opportunity for support workers
Brake, the road safety charity, is running an essential webinar on vicarious trauma, which will offer expert guidance on the condition to all victim support professionals.
Led by academics and expert practitioners, this vital webinar will cover both best practice guidance in developing protocols to ensure support workers are able to avoid vicarious trauma, and also assessments that practitioners can use to measure the condition.
Titled Supporting the supporter: vicarious trauma and support needs, this webinar will provide expert advice on methods that support workers can take to avoid vicarious trauma, including an overview of guidelines and best practice guidance. Speakers will also address commonly experienced signs and symptoms of the condition, and methods that can assist with diagnosis of vicarious trauma.
Attendees at this webinar will benefit from an exclusive ‘Meet the Expert’ session with leading academic, Dr Keren Cohen, Head of Therapies and Senior Lecturer at Goldsmiths, University of London. Keren is trained in psychodynamic psychotherapy, and alongside her academic position, also works as a counsellor.
This webinar is being delivered by Sudden, a project coordinated by Brake. Following Brake’s extensive experience supporting families bereaved suddenly by road crashes, Sudden was founded as a project for sharing best practice in all types of sudden bereavement support among professionals. Sudden brings together academics, victim support professionals, and others to share and promote best practice.
Crucially, this event provides an excellent opportunity for global discussion, and through the inclusion of an interactive question and answer session, offers a unique chance for international professionals to consider practical issues with a field leader.
This webinar is relevant for anyone working in a support or caring capacity, and offers an excellent, free of charge professional development opportunity to all support workers, counsellors and practitioners.
This webinar is free of charge to all attendees, and will be held from 2pm - 3.30pm GMT, Thursday 21 September 2017. The event can be accessed from any location with a working internet connection. Find out more.
