Healthy employees. Resilient workplaces.

Compassion Fatigue Workshop

Compassion fatigue, also called “the cost of caring,” can be experienced by people working in environments where there is a high chance of exposure to secondary trauma. These individuals are at risk of potential mental health challenges, relationship problems and the inability to perform work responsibilities.

The symptoms of compassion fatigue are hard to recognize and require adequate support for the individual experiencing it. This workshop will help employers, employees and volunteers who may develop compassion fatigue, including first responders, clergy, teachers, counsellors, social workers, health care professionals, veterinarians and individuals who are the first point of contact for those going through a crisis or disaster.
