Compassion fatigue and burnout are commonly experienced by people working in environments with a high likelihood of secondary trauma exposure. These individuals are at risk for mental health challenges, relationship problems and the inability to perform work responsibilities.
The symptoms of compassion fatigue and burnout are hard to recognize and require adequate support to overcome. This workshop will help employers, employees and volunteers who may develop compassion fatigue. Those at risk for compassion fatigue include 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.
This workshop provides a flexible and customizable approach, accommodating the unique needs of various professions and industries while offering adaptable time frames and formats.
