Working at Covenant House Vancouver will be one of the most meaningful things that you’ll do in your life. However, you will be exposed to significant issues in this work and frankly, itis not for everyone. You will be exposed to the trauma of others, especially those doing frontline work. The youth we serve may also experience overdose, physical harm perpetuated by self or others, and even death. Because we provide a relational model of care, the harms our youth experience can impact us in varying degrees.
While we provide training for youth workers on avoiding what we call vicarious trauma (namely, the trauma you can experience or take on by hearing other’s traumatic stories), and a generous allowance for counselling, it is still difficult work that takes its toll on many employees. Self-awareness and self-care are key. Some candidates and employees decide during the recruiting and probationary periods that this work isn’t for them, and that is totally fair.
We will provide more information on vicarious trauma during recruiting and on-boarding, to help you decide if Covenant House Vancouver is the place for you.
