Compassion Fatigue & Burnout Prevention Virtual Session

Compassion fatigue, also called “the cost of caring,” can be experienced by people
working in environments where there is a high chance of exposure to secondary
trauma. These individuals are at risk of potential mental health challenges, relationship
problems and the inability to perform work responsibilities. The symptoms of
compassion fatigue are hard to recognize and require adequate support for the
individual experiencing it.

In Collaboration with the CMHANL, This workshop is meant to help employers, employees and volunteers who may develop compassion fatigue, including first responders, clergy, teachers, counsellors, social workers, health care professionals, veterinarians and individuals who are the first point of contact for those going through a crisis or disaster.

This 90-minute workshop will equip participants with the language to talk about mental
health, the understanding to support employees with challenges and the steps to move
towards greater self care.

By the end of the workshop, you will:
1. Understand symptoms and effects of compassion fatigue and fatigue risk factors.
2. Recognize personal and systemic barriers to receiving help.
3. Learn how to manage daily perceived threats and stress in more effective ways.
4. Create a self-care plan with resiliency-building skills and steps to improve
