Compassion Fatigue: Recognizing It, Addressing It, and Sustaining Your Wellbeing
HEALTH TALK SESSION
Caregiving — in any form — is deeply rewarding work. It's also emotionally demanding. Compassion fatigue is a form of secondary traumatic stress that develops when people who regularly support others in pain, crisis, or need absorb that stress over time. It affects healthcare workers, social workers, educators, first responders, nonprofit staff, and anyone whose work involves sustained empathy and care.
This session helps participants understand what compassion fatigue is, how it differs from burnout, and why it's common in high-care environments. Attendees leave with practical tools to recognize warning signs early, set healthier boundaries, and build habits that protect their wellbeing for the long term.
Key takeaways:
-What compassion fatigue is and how it develops
-How to distinguish it from burnout
-Early warning signs in yourself and your team
-Coping strategies and boundary-setting techniques
-How to build a culture of peer support and resilience
