Family Collective

Secondary Trauma Training

South Spring Baptist Church 17002 US-69, Tyler, TX, United States

A key part of becoming trauma informed is self care and understanding secondary trauma.  It occurs when an individual is exposed indirectly to trauma.  We invite foster/adoptive/kinship families, caseworkers, church staff, counselors and therapists to join us as Chris Legg takes us through a deep dive into learning about compassion fatigue, blocked care and secondary trauma.  We hope you will take away skills to overcome and work through these hardships that come with ministering and loving on families.
