Transforming Vicarious Trauma: A Training Curriculum by LEAP

Vicarious trauma is the process of change that care providers undergo as a result of their exposure to patient experiences of violence, abuse, and trauma. This training module can be used to address the adverse effects of this process on care providers and staff. The module includes all the content needed to conduct a 1 to 1.5 hour training on vicarious trauma (Items 2-5). We have included "Facilitating Discussion about Vicarious Trauma" (Item 1) which provides the materials for a full-day curriculum that can be used to "train the trainers" who will go on to facilitate the 1-1.5 hour clinic training sessions:

• Item 1: Facilitating Discussion about Vicarious Trauma (pdf): A curriculum for “training the trainers” on the use of LEAP’s VT curriculum
• Item 2: Training Guide for Instructors (pdf): Instructor training notes on LEAP's VT curriculum
• Item 3: Self-Care for Caregivers (ppt) (pdf): A Powerpoint presentation on VT (the training slides)
• Item 4: Tips for Self-Care (pdf): 10 things care providers can do to address VT in their own lives.
• Item 5: Training Evaluation (pdf): A brief evaluation form for participants to complete after attending the VT training.
