Calming the Chaos:
Clinical and Pastoral Responses in Traumatic Times
March 2, 2018 @ 9:30 am - 2:30 pm
Annual Pastoral Counseling and Spiritual Care Conference
March 2, 2018
Fordham University at Lincoln Center
New York, New York
Description of Education Program
The cost of trauma work has long been recognized in the industry. Exposure to traumatic experiences and stories, physically demanding hours, inadequate supervision and personal stressors may result in burnout syndrome, compassion fatigue or vicarious traumatization (Figley, 2015). Furthermore, ethical conflicts may arise contributing to moral distress (Mathieu, 2012). Research indicates that there are resiliency factors that mediate the experience of compassion fatigue and vicarious traumatization. Of interest, engaging in nature appears to promote growth and healing and contributes to the development of biopsychosocial spiritual resiliency factors (Berger, 2016; Berger & Lahad, 2010). Join Dr. Fisher and Rev Matt Crebbin as they explores the cost of caring and discusses a nature-based resiliency model that promotes health and overall wellness.
