Trauma-Informed Professional Resilience

The curriculum emphasizes that professional efficacy in this field is inseparable from the practitioner's own well-being. By focusing on both targeted intervention strategies and essential self-care, the course ensures that social workers are not only capable of helping clients cope with deep-seated mental scars but are also protected against the risks of vicarious trauma and burnout.

Led by expert practitioner Elisabeth Weber-Schigutt, the training integrates legal, pedagogical, and psychological perspectives. Participants will develop a nuanced understanding of emergency psychology, enabling them to act as a vital first point of contact for individuals in crisis, fostering long-term recovery through immediate, compassionate, and evidence-based interventions.
