Supporting practitioners with secondary trauma

In this episode of Employer Zone Insights, we speak to Jerry Crehan, Emma Hall and Rebecca Dungar who are all practitioners in Norfolk County Council's adults' social care team.

They describe how Norfolk has supported them after they experienced secondary trauma at work.

Residents in some of Norfolk's care homes were neglected and abused; this caused understandable distress to social workers. Because of this adult social care organised a debrief session on secondary trauma.
