How can you develop resilience to avoid vicarious trauma?
Vicarious trauma is the emotional and psychological impact of witnessing or hearing about the suffering of others. It can affect social workers who are exposed to traumatic stories, images, or situations in their work. Vicarious trauma can lead to symptoms such as anxiety, depression, burnout, compassion fatigue, and reduced empathy. To prevent or cope with vicarious trauma, social workers need to develop resilience, which is the ability to bounce back from stress and adversity. Here are some ways to build resilience and protect your well-being as a social worker.
