Witnessing: Understanding the Effects of Overexposure to Stories of Suffering and Trauma
Clinicians and health care workers are caring for immigrant and migrant communities in a time of increased fear, uncertainty, and stress. Many of the clinicians themselves are experiencing distress and moral injury from the frequent exposure to the trauma that their patients are experiencing, and the limitations that clinicians face when trying to help within systems shaped by immigration-related fear, family separation, legal uncertainty, and unequal access to care. This podcast episode features Migrant Clinicians Network's Pam Secada-Sayles as she introduces MCN's Witness to Witness model in the context of many of the clinicians within our clinical network reporting the experience of provider distress, overwhelm, moral injury, and more. As always, MCN's approach includes practical ways to stay grounded, compassionate, and connected to reasonable hope in the current context of care. This episode is pulled from our recent three-part webinar series on trauma-informed care.
