Centerstone will host a free, virtual Secondary Trauma training on September 27 from 10-11:30 a.m. CT.

Objectives of the training include:

• Develop a deeper understanding of what secondary trauma is and how it affects your professional and personal life
• Learn various conditions related to secondary trauma
• Reflect on your own experiences and how to manage your own stress
• Reflect on your own organizations and how to establish a trauma sensitive culture

“Secondary trauma can be very harmful,” said Hannah Chapman, Centerstone Trauma Treatment and Training grant coordinator. “During this time of COVID, social unrest, isolation, uncertainty, and so many other stressors, it’s important to realize that you matter and learn self-care strategies.”

The presenter of the training will be Rachel Chruszczyk, prevention specialist with Prevent Child Abuse Illinois.

This training has 1.5 hours of continuing education approved for IL LCPC / LPC, IL LCSW / LSW, and IL Nursing (LPN, RN, APN) under IDFPR Professional Counselor CE License No. 197.000263 and IDFPR Nurse CE Sponsor License No. 236.000184.
