Preventing Compassion Fatigue: Honoring Thyself
”Every day victim advocates struggle with heart wrenching, painful stories that both fuel our passion for our work and keep us up at night. If we focus on serving others without taking care of ourselves, we are at risk of experiencing secondary traumatic stress disorder, better known as compassion fatigue. This webinar will provide valuable tools to identify the warning signs of compassion fatigue, and will help you develop techniques to replenish your spirit in order to properly honor yourself.”
