Compassion fatigue is a reality for caregivers (“carers”) and professionals working with victims of trauma, or anyone experiencing pain, illness, or suffering. Overcoming compassion fatigue centers about self-care, through a combination of recovery and rejuvenation. Though it is important to overcome and recover from compassion fatigue, it is equally important to prevent it from recurring, or from manifesting in the first place. This program makes a powerful impression and offers all the right strategies to help employees avoid compassion fatigue, and understand the importance of self-care in managing personal wellness. Employees are inspired to develop a holistic, comprehensive self-care plan that will promote wellbeing in all areas of their lives at work and home.
