Book Club: Trauma Stewardship
Trauma Stewardship: An Everyday Guide to Caring for Self While Caring for Others
by Laura van Dernoot Lipsky and Connie Burk (Berrett-Koehler Publishers, 2009)
 |
Trauma Stewardship is an essential resource for anyone working with those who are suffering. The impact of secondary (vicarious) trauma can be enormous on those who are called to help. This book will convince you that "self-care" is NOT a luxury, but a necessity for those who bear witness to others' pain. Advocates, social workers, chaplains, and faith leaders will find this to be an invaluable companion in your work. Click to watch a recording of this conversation.
