A Victim-Centered Approach

Our thanks to those who joined us for a day of clinically informed presentations from leading researchers and clinicians working in the field of trauma. Topics included compassion fatigue, mitigating secondary traumatic stress, identifying the long-term needs of victim's families, group treatment modalities, mental health considerations, and best practices in responding to and recovering from traumatic events. The daylong symposium educated mental health professionals, victims' services, emergency managers, law enforcement, and other community stakeholders.
