Laura,

Helpers like you make a big difference in the lives of others, but compassion for those you help can affect you in positive AND negative ways. 

That’s why we’ve developed a free, online quiz on secondary traumatic stress (STS). Secondary Traumatic Stress describes your work related, secondary exposure to extremely or traumatically stressful events. You can take the quiz to determine to what degree you might be experiencing STS. It takes only a couple of minutes–you’ll simply answer several questions about your positive and negative experiences as a helper.

This free quiz is fully confidential and we will not see any of your individual multiple choice answers.

We pray this resource is helpful to you as you continue to serve others selflessly.

Warmly,

Jamie Aten, Ph.D. and Kent Annan, M.Div.
