Resiliency:  How Secondary Trauma Activates Hardiness

by Andrew Laue

Workshop leader Andrew Laue walks participants through the elements associated with trauma. As HR practitioners already know, it is often hard to care for a staff and workforce that is experiencing trauma firsthand. The effects of that experience can profoundly impact the HR practitioner and cascade the trauma even further.
