DRCC resource: Preventing Vicarious Trauma

If we encounter stories and descriptions of rape or child sexual abuse or other forms of traumatic incident in our work or volunteer roles, it is very important to create and implement a strategy to reduce the impact of secondary trauma.

In this document, you will find some ways in which you could implement a Vicarious Trauma Prevention Plan. 

Please remember that the 24-hour National Rape Crisis Helpline is always there to support you at 1800 77 8888.
