This four-hour class focuses on the effects that working as a first responder/dispatcher has on an individual. Upon completion of the class, the attendees will understand what vicarious trauma is and how they can be affected by constant exposure to calls regarding traumatic events. The attendees will also be introduced to skills that will help them address the ill effects of this constant exposure. The class will be conducted as a lecture and will be presented by Famolare Consulting. This class is free.
Anyone interested in attending is asked to contact Sharon McGill at sjanuary@peabodypolice.org or call (978)538-6306.
