Episode 37 Part 1: Answering the Call to Take Care of Traumatized and Fatigued Healers

Taryn Hughes is the founder of Forest, Hughes, and Associates in New York, a company that assesses vicarious trauma and secondary traumatic stress in the workplace and brings organizations the healing they need. Beginning with a thorough assessment, these trained healers prescribe interventions that focus on traumatized and stressed agencies and compassion fatigued executives and front line workers. While we try and continue to help victims in these precarious times of coronavirus, many of us are no doubt currently experiencing trauma and compassion fatigue ourselves. Taryn speaks about what to look for, the importance of debriefing traumatized professionals, and the critical role leadership and executives play in being healthy and creating a healthy workplace environment.
