Adverse Psychological Events (APEs) for Mental Health Professionals
Adverse Psychological Events (APEs) are stressful, life altering events that create shifts in functioning personally and professionally and impact professional identity and clinical work over time. Your participation is completely voluntary and your information will remain confidential. Survey results will be reviewed in support of further, larger-scale research on APEs for mental health professionals such as informing mental health leadership of how they can better support therapists through APEs in their careers. Questions can be emailed to Khara Croswaite Brindle at croswaitecounselingpllc@gmail.com. Thank you!

Reasons for studying APEs include:

  1. Support clinician burnout prevention and address compassion fatigue

  2. Normalize the messy side of clinical work/risks and humanness within the field

  3. Identify trends in the mental health industry including career longevity

  4. Inform supervisors and mental health leaders of clinician considerations

  5. Provide support and tools for professionals in various mental health settings
