Toolkit for Wellness - Addressing Secondary Traumatic Stress & Other Traumatic Stress in the Workplace

Workers

Have you wondered how Secondary Traumatic Stress (STS), ACEs and Community Resilience are linked? If you read the recent news articles highlighting the pain endured by Philadelphia Police  officersSEPTA train operators, Teachers, and Substance Use Professionals, you can see the impact STS has and its potentially preventable negative outcomes. Supporting workplace health supports healthy communities and reduces likelihood of events leading to ACEs - it is "trauma preventive."

The data we collected on workplace practices and resilience tools for organizations, institutions, and city departments, is featured on the Secondary Traumatic Stress - Take Care PHL Solutions section.
