This course supports Peer Recovery Specialists (PRS) in recognizing, understanding, and responding to vicarious trauma while maintaining personal wellness, ethical boundaries, and sustainable recovery. The training normalizes vicarious trauma as an occupational risk, not a personal failure, and equips peers with practical tools to protect their well-being while continuing to provide compassionate, recovery-oriented support. Emphasis is placed on self-care as a professional responsibility.
Vicarious Trauma/Self-Care: 2 hrs.
