Membership Meeting (Webinar)


Monica Dedhia, LCSW

“The Resilient Helper: Protecting Your Passion, Wellbeing, and Professional Sustainability”

In this workshop, we will use the recent Los Angeles wildfires are a perfect example of how large-scale traumatic events can create an ongoing sense of uncertainty and stress, not just for survivors, but for everyone involved - from responders to communities affected. It’s also a good reflection of the broader uncertainty we’re navigating in modern times—climate change, political instability, health crises, and social challenges. 

For mental health professionals, this can contribute to burnout, compassion fatigue, and even vicarious trauma, especially when working with individuals who are directly impacted. 

The purpose of this presentation is to expand mental health professionals' abilities to identify and understand reactions common in work with trauma survivors, the causes and signs of burnout and compassion fatigue, and factors contributing to vicarious trauma and resilience.

Learning Objectives

In successfully completing and attending this presentation, participants will be able to:

  1. Identify 2 factors contributing to distress in mental health professionals who work with trauma survivors.
  2. Identify 3 common secondary traumatic stress reactions in working with trauma survivors.
  3. Define compassion satisfaction and compassion fatigue and its relationship to burnout and vicarious traumatic stress.
  4. Identify 2 common signs and symptoms of burnout.
  5. Discuss 3 strategies to prevent the development of burnout.
