Hi Alyssa, I work in humanitarian aid, which is a bit different from your career. In my job, we often face secondary trauma almost every day. My advice for anyone working in social fields is to treat self-care as importantly as caring for others. If you take care of yourself, you'll be better able to help others. These jobs are also very rewarding, so enjoy your choice! :)
