Abstract	While colleges and universities are challenged with meeting enrollment goals, faculty and staff furloughs and layoffs, and balancing options for how to function as a business as well as educational organization, it is vital for vicarious trauma to be part of that conversation. Professionals whose role is to assist students by providing support, resources, and services are increasingly exposed to vicarious trauma, and one might argue that they are more prone than ever before. Experts from the National Child Traumatic Network identified fear, sleep difficulties, intrusive images or thoughts, flashbacks, hypervigilance, hopelessness, inability to embrace complexity, inability to listen, anger and cynicism, sleeplessness, chronic exhaustion, physical ailments, minimizing, and guilt as indicators of vicarious trauma (The National Child Traumatic Stress Network, 2011). Sprang et al. (2019) add in the "Journal on Loss and Trauma" that associated effects of vicarious trauma include anxiety, disconnection, avoidance of social contact, becoming judgmental, depression, somatization, and disrupted beliefs about self and others. Practitioners should consider how they are responding to their vicarious trauma and what steps they can take to address it in order to remain healthy to support their students. (ERIC).
