Session Two - Working with Traumatised Refugees 7
This session looks in more detail at the effects of trauma on refugees, how the worker can help, and what the limitations and pitfalls are. We look at tools such as psychological first aid, and debriefing, when to bring in professional help, and appropriate responses to refugees who may be dealing with loss, bereavement and the disappearance of relatives.

Session Three - Caring for the Workers (Part 1) 8
In the second half of this course, we turn from considering the situation of refugees, to the workers themselves (that is presumably you who are taking the course). Both of these sessions draw together a significant amount of outside material, which you may wish to skim read at this point and rea in more depth at a later date. This session considers refugee workers and the cost of caring: how refugee workers are affected by stress, cumulative stress, and vicarious trauma. Self-care is high-lighted and discussed, as well as the crucial role of debriefing.
