What is trauma in the context of our profession?

How to recognise it?

What to do about it?

Through their own professional experience, Vasiliki and Faye will look back at those moments that touched them and challenged them mentally and emotionally, triggers and ways to push through during uncomfortable situations, secondary traumatisation, and finding solace in becoming the voice of the vulnerable and their human stories.
