Have you been feeling burnt out by your job? Your ministry? The world?

The U.S. Federation of Sisters of St. Joseph‘s Charism in Motion program is offering a new workshop for those between the ages of 21-49. Secondary trauma or vicarious trauma is the emotional distress that results when an individual hears about the traumatic experiences of another individual. Distress may result from hearing someone’s trauma stories, seeing high levels of distress in the aftermath of a traumatic event, needing to retell a student’s story and/or seeing photos or images related to the trauma. This often leads to anxiety, depression and burnout. Jessica McCaffery, LCSW, a social worker and member of the St. Joseph Worker community, will lead this workshop to discuss the issue and share concrete ways to address it.

This workshop is perfect for those in social work, teaching or really any ministry or job that requires being with people. The workshop is open to all between the ages of 21-40(-ish) and is offered at no charge to this community.
