Mental Health First Aid

In the Standard version of the workshop you’ll learn about depression, anxiety, trauma, substance use, psychosis, suicide thoughts, and recovery.
In the Supporting Youth version of the workshop you’ll learn about depression, anxiety, trauma, substance use, psychosis, suicide thoughts, self-injury, eating disorders, and recovery for youth ages 12-24.

Compassion Fatigue & Vicarious Trauma
We can become hardened and desensitized to the suffering of others– or conversely, we can become swallowed up by their pain. Any of us can experience these “costs of caring” when we are overloaded, working with traumatic content, or supporting people who are chronically in crisis.
Burnout + Vicarious Trauma = Compassion Fatigue (otherwise known as Empathic Strain)
In this half day or full day workshop you’ll learn how to spot the difference between burnout, trauma, compassion fatigue, and moral distress. Participants will receive a large number of tools to assess and address the costs of caring so we can identify compassion fatigue sooner, and move towards recovery.
No minimum age requirement.
