Monday, February 24, 2014

I was going to write a new post about vicarious trauma but there is a lot of good stuff out there already so I thought I would just provide the links:

Compassion Fatigue Solutions

National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children in the United Kingdom has a lot of good information on vicarious trauma in addition to information on child abuse.

And the Australian National Sexual Assault folks have a some great info on their website.

And if you want to read a good book click on the links below to reviews that have been done on this blog:

Remember to use your supports and to find activities to nurture you in mind, body and spirit. I suggest finding a reason to dance!
