Resisting Burnout & Vicarious Trauma & the Zone of Fabulousness

This event has reached capacity.
For more information contact the provider.

Description

Vikki will differentiate Vicarious Trauma & Burn Out from the spiritual and ethical pain that our work engenders when we are unable to provide dignity and social justice with the people we want to be useful to. We'll explore our relationship to a believed-in hope, and resisting patronizing self-care prescriptions to workers. We will also consider a frame for Resisting Burn out that holds clients at the centre, based on how we treat people, and resist pathologizing ourselves and other workers as mentally ill and deficient...and that's going to bring us to The Zone of Fabulousness...Where we resist enmeshment and disconnection, and hold connection, collective ethics and the person at the centre of our work.

Delivery Mode – 2 x 3 hours online - 9am to 12pm
