Compassion Fatigue Seminar
Non-members - $25 fee (that will be donated in full to local food banks) - Register Online
As part of our professional practice we are regularly required to advocate, and at times resolve issues arising from, highly emotionally charged, conflict on behalf of our clients. We must be mindful of the risk of “transference” resulting for the information we receive and the affect it may have on our own psychological and physical well-being.
Compassion fatigue, also known as secondary traumatic stress (STS), is a condition characterized by a gradual lessening of compassion over time. Compassion fatigue is not considered to be a form of “burnout”. Compassion fatigue is a condition commonly known among professionals who work directly with victims of disasters, trauma, or illness, especially in the health care industry.
