Description
Compassion Fatigue is discussed widely in the helping professions now and recognized as a major contributing factor to dissatisfaction with role, and eventual burnout and at times cause of professionals leaving their field. While we have made great strides over recent years to prevent this, implementing vital self care efforts, etc. this continues to be an overwhelming issue in many helping professions and a difficult battle for healers. This workshop will highlight the continued struggles around compassion fatigue, vicarious trauma, and burnout and look at ways to identify and address these issues.
