Description:Staff and volunteers in the gender-based violence sector are impacted by the trauma they encounter in the course of their work. While many organizations take trauma-informed training to improve supports for the people at the centre of their care, the impact on helpers often goes unattended. We at Sexual Violence NB (SVNB) see collective care as a critical practice in providing trauma-informed care. Collective care addresses the impacts that exposure to trauma can have on helpers working with traumatized individuals. It sustains helpers in their work and supports the delivery of trauma-informed services. This presentation will define collective care and offer some examples of how we at SVNB have implemented this practice into our work culture.Speaker:Jenn GorhamJenn is the Associate Director of Sexual Violence New Brunswick (SVNB) and has been with SVNB for 17 years. She began her career with SVNB training and coordinating the volunteers who staff SVNB’s 24-hour support line as well as working in schools throughout the Anglophone West School District delivering workshops to youth on healthy relationships, consent and coercion. She is a trained Vicarious Trauma and Compassion Fatigue facilitator and has delivered workshops on trauma-informed principles for trauma-exposed workplaces to frontline workers throughout the province. She was the project coordinator for Enhancing Criminal Justice Response to Sexual Violence in New Brunswick, to research, develop, deliver, and evaluate a training initiative for criminal justice professionals on sexual violence. She is currently the project coordinator for Maintain: Strengthening Collective Care, a nationally funded project addressing wellness in trauma-exposed workplaces.
