Transforming Vicarious Trauma, Empathic Strain (Compassion Fatigue), Burnout, & Moral Distress
Caring professionals are lauded for having dedication to alleviating others’ suffering - but who’s helping the helpers?
“Everyone should have the chance to attend this type of training.
Compassion Fatigue is not just about client (service) but is also about my wellbeing and my overall life.”
Using current research and evidence-informed recommendations, these workshops give participants a sense of understanding about their own vulnerabilities to CF, VT, and Burnout as well as tangible strategies to enact right away for care and prevention.
