Vicarious Trauma to Vicarious Resilience:

There is trauma in witnessing suffering.
But there is also something else: resilience is contagious too.

Last week we explored that truth with the core team of Emantes, an incredible social cooperative supporting LGBTQIA+ refugees in Greece.

People who have fled persecution for who they love or who they are. Who navigate borders, systems, fear and invisibility.
And who still create community, humour, resistance and beauty.

This specialised training was about learning how to stay open and support , build self awareness and continue working without burning out.

How to let stories move us — but not break us.
How to transform vicarious trauma into vicarious resilience.

So much respect for this team and the work they do every day. 🌱

🌱 SPRING 2026 | Online Psychological First Aid Training 🌱

In a world that feels increasingly intense, uncertain and emotionally demanding — Psychological First Aid (PFA) is no longer a “nice to have”. It’s an essential skill.

You’ll learn how to:
- Respond to distress with confidence
