Vicarious trauma management
Vicarious trauma can seriously impact on the well-being of a workforce and organisation. Managing vicarious trauma not only promotes the wellbeing of staff, it is cost effective and assists organisations in proactively complying with work, health and safety requirements.
Vicarious trauma can produce significant and prolonged human and financial costs in the following areas:
- Employee physical and mental well-being;
- Employee work performance;
- Collegial relationships;
- Workplace culture;
- Staff attrition rates;
- Unplanned absences from the workplace;
- Worker compensation claims.
The use of psychometrics to monitor and manage vicarious trauma can provide clear information about the severity and type of vicarious trauma symptoms that are present.
Full Stop Australia clinicians provide regular psychometric monitoring of vicarious trauma for external organisations and professionals working in the context of trauma.
Two formal measures are used to assess vicarious trauma. The measures assess cognitive change symptoms resulting from exposure to trauma and the degree of secondary traumatisation in professionals who work with trauma survivors.
Monitoring can be applied to individuals, teams and organisations.
