Systems of Support
Systems of Support is an innovative and evidence-based program designed by Barrington Centre’s senior psychologists to address and resolve the cumulative and secondary trauma faced by frontline professionals as part of the nature of their work.
Professionals who are engaged in frontline work in fields such as mental health, legal, emergency services, and veterinary services, usually possess altruistic and perfectionist personalities, making them potentially susceptible to high psychological and mental-health risk.
The 3 courses in the Systems of Support Program are created to alleviate the professionals’ risk of cumulative and secondary traumatisation as a result of their work.
Outcomes of the programs can be measured in:
- Decrease in Psychological Risk
- Increase in Resilience
- Improvement in emotional/psychological protection
- Positive shift in beliefs and self-expectations
- Reduction in risk of cumulative trauma and secondary traumatisation
