Horatio O'Shea
Resume
Horatio has worked in the not-for-profit sector for over 20 years. Through the course of his career he has worked with various groups including, out-of-home care, people with disability, homeless youth and people seeking asylum.
In 2009, Horatio focused his Masters research on how organisational policies address the effects of the working in Human Services, in particular how Vicarious Trauma is addressed and managed.
His work into Vicarious Trauma has led him to frame it in a post-traumatic growth approach, one in which the individual, management and organisation grows in the face of this issue.
