Description
Trauma-Informed Leadership and Supervision to Mitigate Secondary Traumatic Stress
Vicarious Trauma and Secondary Traumatic Stress have been described as “occupational hazards” of those working with individuals who have experienced trauma. There are micro-level practices one can put in place to help prevent burnout. However, leaders are ignoring macro-level interventions at the organizational level that could protect their workforce, leading to work dissatisfaction, burnout, and high levels of turnover.
This presentation explores the literature on the prevention of secondary traumatic stress and what organizations are doing to prevent this “occupational hazard” through a systematic literature review. Next, it overviews the conceptual paper that explores Servant Leadership and Trauma-Informed Care as practices that can assist with the prevention and mitigation of the effects of secondary traumatic stress. Finally, the presentation outlines a practice of integrating concepts from Servant Leadership and Trauma-Informed care to create a leadership and supervision model focused on protecting the trauma workforce.
Learning Objectives:
- Participants will learn about vicarious trauma, secondary traumatic stress, and the threat it poses to the helping professions.
- Participants will understand the overlap between Servant Leadership and Trauma-Informed Care, and how these two models can be helpful to lessen the burden of secondary traumatic stress.
- Participants will be able to outline a model of leadership and supervision that can be implemented in their own leadership journeys to assist with mitigated the effects of STS and VT.
