Vicarious Trauma: Recognition and Resilience Strategies

Selina Higgins, LCSW-R, Executive Director, Child Trafficking Prevention and Consultation

Date: Friday November 13, 2026

Time: 1:00 pm to 3:00 pm, EST

REGISTER This workshop will provide an overview of Vicarious Trauma, its definition, risk factors, signs and symptoms, how it impacts upon others and how it can be addressed. Control factors for consideration will include overviews of, and (as virtually possible) participation opportunities for controlled breathing, distress tolerance techniques, sound therapy/healing frequencies, mindful meditation, aromatherapy, emotional support items, and the presenter’s favorite tactics (which will be revealed during the workshop). The workshop will then open for a Chat based discussion to share strategies and coping mechanisms participants use to help mitigate and alleviate the impact of stress and trauma within their own lives, providing an opportunity to learn from each other. Especially supportive for Friday the 13th!
