This informal gathering for clinicians in our community will provide a space to meet, relax, bounce ideas off of, provide support for colleagues and develop positive relationships with peers to minimize the effects of secondary trauma.  Secondary trauma, also referred to as vicarious trauma or compassion fatigue, often results from doing this type of work but having a support system in place helps provide perspective and a clinician’s ability to connect with others in meaningful ways.  Please consider joining us.
