Debriefing as a Helping Professional: Strategies for Communicating Effectively About our Work
Research shows that effective and frequent debriefing opportunities significantly reduces the risk of secondary traumatic stress symptoms for professionals working in trauma-exposed environments. Naturally, helping professionals want to talk about the difficult things they see and hear, however, sometimes instead of effectively debriefing, these conversations seem more like venting and offloading. With a few simple techniques, helpers can transform these conversations into helpful dialogue for processing and reflecting on trauma exposure while reducing the risk of transferring secondary trauma onto others. OBJECTIVES: • Understand the signs of vicarious trauma and secondary traumatic stress • Introduce the 4 Low Impact Debriefing communication guidelines • Identify distinct purposes of effective debriefing • Explore strategies for reducing the risk of vicarious trauma

Transforming Compassion Fatigue: Practices for Replenishing our Compassionate Energy
DESCRIPTION: Helping professionals provide all kinds of different support but their common ground is that they all offer compassion so generously. Yet, being a helper can be very demanding and difficult which can cause emotional distress and compassion fatigue.

This workshop will offer strategies to recognize compassion fatigue and develop sustainable self-care commitments that can transform compassion fatigue into compassion satisfaction. OBJECTIVES: • Describe compassion fatigue and empathy-based stress • Identify warning signs of compassion fatigue • Introduce compassion fatigue assessment and evaluation tools • Provide strategies for enhancing compassion satisfaction

Secondary Losses: The Domino Effect of Grief's Primary Loss
A residual effect from a primary loss, secondary losses are usually non-death related, such as loss of stability, financial independence, purpose, and support systems (to name a few). These secondary losses often go unrecognized with their significance overlooked, leaving people to at times feel ashamed, alone, invalidated, and alienated. This interactive session will explain the domino effects that occur after a primary loss. Participants to this session will learn how secondary losses are compounded to add to a griever’s overwhelming primary loss, in addition to learning about how they can better support grievers, equipped with an understanding of the intricacies of secondary losses.
