Description:
Through a combination of short lectures, guided discussions and interactive exercises, this presentation examines job stressors and the issue of vicarious trauma which can impact all victim service practitioners and, ultimately, their ability to provide effective and compassionate victim services. The workshop highlights how to recognize the warning signs of vicarious trauma and job stress in their own lives and in their colleagues, how to best address the issue and risks of developing vicarious trauma and job stress in their agencies and work places, and how to best address the issue and risks of developing vicarious trauma and job stress in their own personal lives.
Target Audience:
Ideal for victim service professionals and other criminal justice professionals (e.g., law enforcement, prosecutors, judges, probation and parole professionals). The training provides participants with an introduction to the subject along with basic strategies for responding to victim/clients.Running Time:
Variable: Optimal running time between 1 and 3 hours. However, shorter and longer times are available by special arrangement.
Audio Visual Requirements:
Voice Amplification
For large rooms or groups larger than 35, a voice amplification system would be helpful. Groups of more than 50, amplification is probably necessary. I prefer a lavaliere microphone system, but can work with a hand-held or stationary mike mounted on or near the podium.
Podiums
Generally, a full size or table top podium is preferred, however specific venues and formats may require and alternate setup. Half size table top will work as an alternative. I do like to move around during the presentation, so room around any podium set up is preferred.
LCD Projector
Presenter will supply his own LCD projector, but if possible having a second projector for back-up in case of mechanical failure is recommended.
Screen
Require a projection screen large enough so that the projected image from the lap-top presentation can be easily seen by participants in the rear of the presentation venue.
Projection Stand
Require a stand from which to project image from my LCD Projector. Stand should have a multiple-output power supply (i.e., power bar) and can accommodate a VCR if necessary.
VCR
Apart from the screen and stand described above, the presentation requires a VHS-VCR (standard models) that can be connected to the projector and to sound amplification if necessary, to play video tapes. The presenter will supply a small sound system that will provide amplification from video loud enough to be heard by audiences up to 50 people. Larger audience will require auxiliary amplification through a PA or other sound system (call to arrange for special audio needs).
In The Alternative
A TV, or series of TV’s cabled to a single VCR can be substituted for a projected image obtained through a digital projector, as long as participants can easily see the sets.
