Does a social workers own childhood trauma pose a risk or offer protection against development of vicarious trauma? How does workplace support factor into a social workers susceptibility? Although it may seem logical that all of us have an equal chance of developing symptoms of vicarious trauma, the truth is that some are more vulnerable than others. Some factors are not changeable; they may relate to personal trauma history, oppression based on social identity, or years in practice. But others are. What changes can you make to safeguard yourself even more? 

In this Discussion, you consider factors that place social workers at risk of and protect against the development of vicarious trauma. You then reflect on the existing protective factors in your own life and consider how you might increase your preventative capabilities. 

To prepare:

• Review the Learning Resources on risk and protective factors. Consider how these factors might facilitate or guard against the development of vicarious trauma.
• Reflect on the existing protective factors in your life and consider how you might generate even greater protection.

Post an explanation of at least two personal, work-related, or environmental factors that place social workers at greater risk for vicarious trauma. Then, identify and explain at least two factors that protect social workers against development of vicarious trauma. Finally, consider the protective factors that you possess. What additional protective factors could you cultivate in your life to support prevention of vicarious trauma?

Public goods that are nonrivalrous in consumption, means that the amount that one consumer uses does not diminish the amount available to another consumer. Making publicly provided Internet service available to all residents of a community is an example of a nonrivalrous public good because one resident using the service does not diminish the amount available to another resident. For example, Chattanooga, Tennessees municipally owned electric utility provides residents and businesses with Internet service of up to one gigabit per second200 times faster than the U.S. average (Newcombe, 2013). Using Hymans (2021) definition of public goods and his description of their characteristics, determine which public services are provided by the local government jurisdiction under your analysis.

From the Annual Budget of your local jurisdiction

• Which services would you define as pure public goods, or as close to a pure public good as you can find, that are being provided by the local jurisdiction you are reviewing?
• Are there services being rationed in any particular way within this jurisdiction? If yes, describe how it is being done.
• Are there services you think should be rationed? If yes, how would you propose to do it?
