Webinar: Feminist Approaches to Mental Health Care for GBV Survivors
Join the GBV AoR Community of Practice and the GBViE Helpdesk for a preliminary overview of basic principles and approaches to feminist-informed mental health treatment for GBV survivors. This webinar is to support those working with GBV survivors in humanitarian settings. Many approaches that GBV specialists currently use when engaging with survivors reflect feminist methodologies, for example, the survivor-centered approach. Yet, there is a gap in guidance from humanitarian settings on what it means to apply an explicitly feminist approach to mental health and psychosocial support interventions, and why it matters in working with survivors of GBV. In this webinar, the host, Jeanne Ward from the GBViE Helpdesk will be briefly presenting key points from a GBV AoR Helpdesk review of Feminist Approaches to Specialized Mental Health Care for GBV Survivors, and then we will hear from three experts about their experience applying feminist princi...
MS 3: Staff Care and Support: Combatting burnout and vicarious traumatization for GBV staff in the time of COVID
MS 3: Staff Care and Support: Combatting burnout and vicarious traumatization for GBV staff in the time of COVID Effective GBV programming depends on putting together a dedicated staff[1]who have specialized knowledge, skills and attitudes. Working with GBV survivors can be particularly stressful and it is common for staff to experience everyday stress, cumulative stress, burnout, and critical incident stress. Vicarious/secondary trauma, typically a cumulative process that builds over time after prolonged exposure to other people’s suffering, is also a risk and may contribute to a deterioration of staff morale and increased turnover in the GBV staff. In this minimum standard, it is recommended that GBV coordinators and managers should be aware of their staff’s stress levels, and establish routine mechanisms for acknowledging and supporting staff safety and well-being. Over time,without appropriate support and supervision, GBV staff may begin to feel overwhelmed and tired, and ...
