Mo. 26. März 2012, 9.00 Uhr bis Di. 27. März 2012, 18.00 Uhr
Attention: Accomodation has to be arranged individually for this training
Working in crisis areas and having to deal with violence have an effect on mental health and relationships with others. This process often goes unnoticed, but can be an excessive burden for peace workers. Without being aware of it themselves, they might face problems such as secondary traumatisation and burnout. The former is often triggered by intensive contact with traumatised people and the latter generally results from high levels of stress and unrealistic expectations concerning one’s own work.
This training course imparts both theory and practical methods which help the participants to protect themselves from burnout and secondary traumatisation. They are helped to consider their own personal limits with regard to threats and violence, helping them to avoid overstepping these limits.
