Helping professionals provide all kinds of different support but their common ground is that they all offer compassion so generously. Yet, being a helper can be very demanding and difficult which can cause emotional distress and compassion fatigue. It is totally natural but there are ways that helpers can improve stress resiliency and revitalize compassion through self-care. This workshop will offer strategies to recognize compassion fatigue and develop sustainable self-care commitments that can transform compassion fatigue into compassion satisfaction. OBJECTIVES: • Describe compassion fatigue and empathy-based stress • Identify warning signs of compassion fatigue • Introduce compassion fatigue assessment and evaluation tools • Provide strategies for enhancing compassion satisfaction
