DRCC resource: Vicarious Traumatisation
19 September 2025

This resource is primarily aimed at people who work with the public & who may need to work with or assist those traumatised by rape or sexual abuse.
It may also be useful if you are supporting a friend or loved one in the aftermath of sexual violence. It is intended to help you recognise, understand and manage the possible knock-on impact that providing such support may have on you personally.
Please remember that the 24-hour National Rape Crisis Helpline is always there to support you at 1800 77 8888.
