CPHR CPD: 1.0
Online Webinar
Caring for Your Mental Health While You Care for Others
Program Overview
Description
You’ve sat across from an employee in crisis. Carried information you couldn’t share. Walked out of devastating conversations and straight into your next meeting as if nothing happened. The emotional demands of HR work are immense
and largely invisible to the rest of the organization.
Over time, this can lead to vicarious trauma, the gradual impact of absorbing others’ distress day after day. It’s different from burnout, though they often
overlap, and many HR professionals experience it without ever having a name for it.
In this one-hour session, a psychologist from Insight Psychological will lead a candid, practical conversation designed specifically
for HR. We’ll name and normalize these experiences and explore concrete strategies you can use right away, from in-the-moment tools to broader changes you can advocate for within your organization.
Learning Outcomes
- A clear understanding of vicarious trauma and how it's different from burnout and compassion fatigue
- How to recognize the signs in yourself and in your HR colleagues
- A practical toolkit of strategies for when you need them most: between meetings, throughout the week, and over the long term
- A framework for making the case that organizations need to support the people who support everyone else
