Many professions and workplaces are exposed to psychosocial work-related risks, including mental health and medical professionals, lawyers, first responders, police, corrections and prison officers, armed services personnel, humanitarian aid workers and journalists.
Some professions have a double risk, exposed to the trauma of others and direct trauma in their line of duty.
Organisational reputation, duty to key stakeholders and the safety and wellbeing of employees, clients, patients or customers are interconnected.
Vicarious trauma (VT), Secondary traumatic stress (STS) moral injury, compassion fatigue and burnout are different but may co-occur. Grief and 24/7 media exposure to harrowing national and international events add another dimension of complexity.
Impacts are cumulative and left unaddressed, affect emotional, mental, physical and spiritual wellbeing, personal relationships and professional competencies. Support to address the impact of work on health and wellbeing is a vital aspect of professional rights and personal responsibilities.
Historically, STS and VT trauma training has focused on the personal aspect of selfcare – what can an individual do to support themselves and mitigate the impacts of their work. This training formulates a three-tiered understanding or an OPS approach:
Organisational: top-down perspective – risk assessment; policy; procedure; (organisational responsibilities)
Peer: we’re in this together – manager training and supervision (manager, supervisor, team leader responsibilities)
Self: taking care of Self – training; resources; support and personal self-care (personal responsibility)
This 2-part three hours live interactive webinar combines important information about risk and resilience factors, discussion and exercises to assess how your workplace is supporting staff wellbeing and how you may be travelling at a personal level.
