Working in substance use and overdose prevention often means supporting people through trauma, which can place helpers at high risk for compassion fatigue and burnout. Understanding Vicarious and Secondary Trauma is essential for supporting the wellbeing of workers in the field and strengthening care for clients.
Join the National Overdose Prevention Network(NOPN) on Tuesday, June 23 from 11:00 am – 12:00 pm PT to hear from our partners at Cypress Resilience Project who will explore what happens in the brain and body when helping professionals are exposed to chronic stress, and why this work can feel so heavy over time. Participants will learn concrete strategies for sustaining their wellbeing and discuss small, manageable actions to begin recovering from Vicarious and Secondary Trauma. Whether you’re currently experiencing compassion fatigue, feeling concerned, or simply want to stay ahead of burnout, this session is for you. Get the word out and sign up today!
This Web Forum is sponsored by the National Overdose Prevention Network, and produced by Dialogue4Health, both programs of PHI Center for Health Leadership & Impact.
