Dealing with Secondary Trauma: Self-Care Strategies for Teachers

Teachers care deeply about their students and take their “in loco parentis” responsibilities quite seriously. So when a student endures a traumatic event, the experience of trying to help the student cope may cause distress for the teacher as well. This phenomenon is called secondary trauma, and it can have serious physical and mental health repercussions if left unaddressed. Teaching is widely regarded as one of the most stressful occupations in the country, and it is also one of the most emotionally exhausting. This workshop provides an overview of the causes and symptoms of secondary trauma, selfcare strategies for teachers looking to restore their emotional balance, and resources for those seeking additional information or professional support.
