Trust Art Therapy

🌍 What is Vicarious Trauma? Did you know that when supporting refugees, workers and volunteers can experience vicarious trauma—emotional stress from exposure to others' trauma? This can lead to burnout, anxiety, and empathy fatigue! Thats why 💡 It’s essential to care for the caregivers, ensuring they can continue offering compassionate, sustainable support. 💙 💡 Ways to Cope: Set Boundaries – Limit exposure when possible. Taking breaks from news or heavy conversations isn’t selfish; it’s essential. Seek Support – Talk with peers, seek therapy, or join support groups who understand the impact of this “secondhand” trauma. Self-care & Routine – Make time for activities that bring joy and relaxation—whether that's exercise, hobbies, or meditation. Education – Learn to recognize symptoms of vicarious trauma in yourself and others, so you can take action sooner. Remember, taking care of yourself is not optional—it’s necessary. 💙 #VicariousTrauma #MentalHealth #CreativeHealing #StressRelief #EmotionalWellbeing Greek Carers Network EPIONI EPIONI | ΕΠΙΟΝΗ Fondazione Don Luigi Di Liegro Lekama Foundation EuroPlural Project Centre Neuro Psychiatrique St-Martin
