Webinar: Traumatic stress and psychosocial wellbeing among humanitarian health workers

This webinar organized by the Red Cross Red Crescent Research Network invites Dr. Abraham Tersugh Kwaghgbah to explore the moderating role of hardiness between secondary traumatic stress and psychosocial wellbeing among humanitarian health workers in Northwestern Nigeria.

We will aim to address the following key questions:

• What are some of the evidence-based interventions that can be used to support humanitarian workers to promote their psychosocial wellbeing?
• Can MHPSS practitioners in the humanitarian sector also be victims of secondary traumatic stress?
• What are some of the challenges of conducting research in emergency settings?

This session will be moderated by MA Sc Julia Noethiger, Specialist in Trauma-Psychotherapy at the Swiss Red Cross and co-chair of the Red Cross and Red Crescent Research Network on MHPSS
