Description: Created by the US Vicarious Trauma Toolkit in collaboration with the International Association of Chiefs of Police, this resource provides talking points for managers to communicate how their organisation is addressing vicarious trauma. This resource provides clear talking points regarding what vicarious trauma is, why it is important to address vicarious trauma at the organisational level, and what steps organisations can take to address vicarious trauma in their workplace.
What's the evidence base for this resource: This was developed by the US Vicarious Trauma Toolkit so we are confident in it being a reliable source of information.
Potential uses and limitations: This resource may be a useful starting point for managers looking to communicate the importance of addressing vicarious trauma in their organisations. A limitation is that it does not give any concrete examples of policies, procedures, or practices to prevent vicarious trauma.
Where it comes from: The US Vicarious Trauma Toolkit.
