Abstract

Abstract: In conducting qualitative research communities that are particularly vulnerable are those directly impacted by trauma, as are the researchers conducting Community Based Participatory Research (CBPR). Vicarious trauma is real and researchers hoping to engage with vulnerable communities to explore their lived experiences, as a way to develop appropriate and effective clinical interventions must come to terms with this fact. This presentation seeks to examine the impact of vicarious trauma on the researchers conducting CBPR research in a high trauma urban community and a method by which the researchers both academics and community researchers can benefit through intentional psychoeducational and mental health support.
