The Community and Public Sector Union championed changes to workplace trauma

Public Service organisations gained a broader understanding about how exposure to traumatic content can impact on workplace mental health.

Mentally healthy workplaces are trauma informed

This project collaborated with six public sector workplaces to develop The Vicarious Trauma Prevention and Awareness Toolkit. The Toolkit provides workplaces with evidence-based tools and resources to proactively talk about the impacts of trauma and make changes to policies and procedures to reduce the risks of vicarious trauma on mental health.
