Compassion Fatigue: Self-Care When Life is Disrupted

Description

Compassion fatigue is a natural result of the world we have been working and living in during the past few years. We have witnessed a dramatic rise in stress related diseases, loneliness, depression, drug overdose, racial injustice, economic pressure, violence to self and others, and global unrest.

We still care for patients, co-workers, friends, and family, while believing in our mission as healthcare practitioners, but resilience may be running low! When we don?t attend to ourselves, professional and personal burnout is near. As we engage in healthy self-care, we are more able to care for others.

Join us in person or virtually as we address the adverse impacts of compassion fatigue on our health and well-being, while navigating ways of reaching our own individualized sense of wholeness.
