This presentation for counselors and social service providers explores Compassion Fatigue among those with a unique set of professional responsibilities. Compassion Fatigue, re-framed as an experience in the continuum of stress responses, offers new insights into the effects and interventions used to reduce the impact of vicarious trauma. We'll discuss cues that help identify compassion fatigue and explore skills that providers can use to help reduce vulnerability and build resilience. Drawing from age old conversations about mind/body relationships and cutting edge neuroscience, this presentation connects brain-based strategies with practical plans to help care works realize their professional best.
