They also prioritize participants\u2019 well-being, doing their best to provide an empathic research experience. But far too often, researchers forget to care for themselves and their teams. <\/p>\n<p>Secondary trauma isn\u2019t just something therapists or doctors experience\u2014it\u2019s also a silent harm some tech professionals endure. For many UXers, secondary trauma is a real and present danger. This is especially true for researchers, designers, content moderators, customer support workers, and others directly interacting with users and their experiences. <\/p>\n<p>But what is harmful about secondary trauma, why is it relevant for UXers, and how can it be prevented? <\/p>\n<p>In this workshop, you\u2019ll learn about secondary trauma and how you can protect yourself and your team. To prevent secondary trauma, you must first understand trauma-informed work, so we\u2019ll explore trauma theory, impacts, types, and evolution. Leveraging this knowledge, we\u2019ll detail trauma-informed care practices based on the most up-to-date information, including self-awareness and harm mitigation strategies. Together, we\u2019ll explore practical tips, discuss ways to continue your journey toward becoming trauma-informed, and help you thrive in a long career that is mutually supportive, equitable, and healing for all. <\/p>\n<h4>Audience<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>UX professionals who conduct research with and to be used by humans and want to care for themselves and their team during their research activities. <\/li>\n<li>UX professionals who engage in trauma-informed work but want to grow their practice and knowledge. <\/li>\n<li>Students, including those who do not yet conduct research but are interested in understanding the importance of being trauma-informed and how they can prepare themselves to thrive in a long research\/design career. <\/li>\n<li>Anyone interested in learning more about these topics \u2013 trauma, secondary trauma, self-care, trauma-informed research \u2013 and finding community and support. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>Prerequisites<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>A willingness to learn, grow, and share.<\/li>\n<li>A willingness to care for yourself and others.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>Take-aways<\/h4>\n<p>Attendees will be able to\u2026<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Take steps toward trauma literacy, including having a working knowledge of trauma language, its prevalence, and its impact.<\/li>\n<li>Distinguish between types of trauma, their pervasiveness, and their manifestation. <\/li>\n<li>Learn how to avoid harm to yourself (and your team) before, during, and after the research and design process.<\/li>\n<li>Evaluate a research situation for potential harm to yourself and\/or your team.<\/li>\n<li>Design a self-care plan to avoid secondary trauma.<\/li>\n<li>Have a framework to use when designing research.<\/li>\n<li>Walk away with a practical model for trauma-informed research.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-2880","workshops","type-workshops","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/rosenfeldmedia.com\/rosenfeld-workshops\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/workshops\/2880","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/rosenfeldmedia.com\/rosenfeld-workshops\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/workshops"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/rosenfeldmedia.com\/rosenfeld-workshops\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/workshops"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/rosenfeldmedia.com\/rosenfeld-workshops\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2880"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
