Have you ever experienced emotional and physical exhaustion that leads to the diminished ability to feel compassion? Do you have difficulties managing your emotions due to the exposure of the trauma of others?

Studies show that between 40% and 85% of us are experiencing Compassion Fatigue or Vicarious Trauma. Whether at work, at home, or simply by watching the news, we can experience the fallout of these types of exposures.

Carolina Bautista-Vélez uncovers the signs and symptoms of Vicarious Trauma and Compassion Fatigue in our personal and professional lives. She teaches us how to develop important coping skills in order to cultivate self-care and resilience.

A Holistic Approach to Incorporating Mind-Body Practices During Stressful Times

Have you or your children been impacted by mass violence? Are you working with children affected by tragedy? Would you like to learn about the long-term effects of trauma, and how to promote resilience? If so, join us for "The Ripple Effect of Trauma: Understanding and Supporting Those Impacted by Mass Violence" presented by Dr. Robin Gurwitch.

The Ripple Effect of Trauma

The death of a family member or loved one by suicide is a devastating loss. Family members often ask themselves: why, what did we miss, and how do we put the pieces of our lives back together? For those in friendship or community circles, offering thoughts and prayers is not enough. There is the personal challenge of balancing one’s own sense of loss with questions of how to support others.

Presenters Maureen Underwood and Marney Rohda will address these issues and provide their perspective garnered from decades of experience in the field of healing after traumatic loss.
