Research In Action

CHOP's Violence Prevention Initiative (VPI) recently hosted a webinar entitled "Secondary Traumatic Stress: Impact on Providers, Patients and Families." This two hour session provides actionable information for healthcare providers to identify symptoms of secondary traumatic stress, encourage proactive organizational support, and identify effective approaches for themselves and their colleagues to reduce stress associated with providing patient care.

The webinar is presented by Kristen Kohser, MSW, LSW, Program Manager at CIRP and Trainer for VPI; Carol Murray, MSS, MLSP, Training Manager at CIRP and Trainer for VPI; and Laura Vega, MSW, LCSW, Violence Prevention Supervisor for VPI's Violence Intervention Program.
