Those of us who work with trauma survivors face unique challenges. If we are to sustain ourselves in this work, it is imperative that we participate in a community that adequately supports us.

These consultation groups focus on the therapeutic complexities of working with trauma survivors by paying special attention to the impact on the clinicians.
