2. Take Home Messages
It is normal for many of us to experience secondary trauma.
It is important that we acknowledge our risk of experiencing secondary trauma and be aware of its signs and symptoms, should they occur.
We need to be proactive in addressing the impact of secondary trauma.

Your professional life should never take precedence over your personal life. It is critical to maintain balance in our lives.
