SUMMARY:Compassion Fatigue
DESCRIPTION:This is a 3-hour class. \nCompassion Fatigue is a term used to describe the psychological\, emotional\, and physical costs of working in one of the helping professions\, such as healthcare\, education\, mental health\, disaster relief\, law enforcement\, hospice care\, and social and environmental justice. \nThe individuals involved in these and other similar professions pay a high emotional price because trauma can be contagious – especially for the highly empathetic\, who are likely to choose professions where they will be always reaching out a hand to help others. \nThe impact of absorbing secondary trauma can affect both the professional and personal life and alter world view. The good news is there are healthy ways to combat this onslaught and to build positive defenses against secondary trauma. \nRegistration Info \nCost: $65 \n\nNo refunds are given\nAttendee substitutions accepted up to 48 hours before training\nTraining URL and materials are sent out 1 week prior to the event

SUMMARY:Compassion Fatigue
DESCRIPTION:Compassion Fatigue is often seen as “the cost of caring.” If you are caring for another person\, this training is for you!\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout this Event\n\n\nCompassion Fatigue \nTuesday\, June 22\, 2021 \n6:00 p.m. – 9:15 p.m. \nCompassion Fatigue is a term used to describe the psychological\, emotional\, and physical costs of working in one of the helping professions\, such as healthcare\, education\, mental health\, disaster relief\, law enforcement\, hospice care\, and social and environmental justice. \nThe individuals involved in these and other similar professions pay a high emotional price because trauma can be contagious – especially for the highly empathetic\, who are likely to choose professions where they will be always reaching out a hand to help others. \nThe impact of absorbing secondary trauma can affect both the professional and personal life and alter world view. The good news is there are healthy ways to combat this onslaught and to build positive defenses against secondary trauma. \nRegistration Info \nCost: $65 \n\nNo refunds are given\nAttendee substitutions accepted up to 48 hours before training\nTraining URL and materials are sent out 1 week prior to the event
