A collaboration between safe communities
and intersectional life counseling & psychology
Our colleagues who care for others are experiencing mental, emotional and physical fatigue as they continue to provide services either remotely or on-site. Staff and volunteers in agencies, organizations and churches are stretched to the limits as they deal with their own anxiety around the pandemic while serving clients, patients, parishioners and vulnerable populations.
While anyone experiencing significant mental health distress should seek individual counseling, psychoeducational groups are highly effective for reducing isolation, normalizing reactions, and building peer-peer support. They are less costly than individual counseling, and we know that tight budgets are a condition of normal life for many organizations and agencies, let alone at a time like this.
During this time of pandemic and related impacts, our two-session module of Vicarious Trauma/Compassion Fatigue groups are available to nonprofits, agencies, organizations, congregations or judicatories. Groups meet using a Zoom virtual platform.
Each module accommodates up to 10 participants and includes two consecutive weekly sessions of 1.5 hours. Dr. Elisabeth Yaelingh-Scoffins, a psychologist with extensive trauma training, and Safe Communities founder Linda Crockett will facilitate the modules.
Session 1
A module costs $600 and is paid for by the organization prior to the first session. A minimum of 3 individuals is required to run a module. Modules may be scheduled for Tuesdays or Thursdays at 4:00 PM to 5:30 PM. If a Tuesday is elected, the module would run two consecutive weeks on a Tuesday.
Confidentiality will be explained at the beginning of each session. Each participant must provide name, email, phone, and emergency contact number. Once organizational leaders register, a link will be sent for each individual participants to give their contact information.

Session 1
- We begin with an educational framework on anxiety, compassion fatigue and vicarious trauma in a time of social crisis, moving into conversation to help participants name and process their current experiences, concluding with suggested practices to broaden the bandwidth of resilience and lesson anxiety.
- Participants are invited reflect on the framework offered in the first session, and to engage in deeper interpersonal dialogue about their experiences, as well as sharing of what practices to build resilience have been helpful as they practice peer-to-peer support.
