Understanding Burnout and Compassion Fatigue
new date!
january 23 7:00-8:00pm
This webinar will dig into common issues each of us may face. Whether symptoms of burnout start to develop from parenting, work, loss, life transitions, or otherwise, understanding the warning signs, and engaging in proactive rather than treatment-based strategies can help to reduce this well-known facet of life that many experience. We will also explore the co-occurrence of compassion fatigue that many individuals may find themselves experiencing when dealing with various parts of life.
In this talk, you will learn:
key warning signs, triggers, and symptoms of burnout and compassion fatigue;
treatment, prevention, and proactive strategies for managing each of these components;
and coping techniques to overcome when burnout or compassion fatigue may already be present.
You will develop an understanding of what each of these terms mean, beyond the idea of being ‘stressed’, and gain the tools and knowledge to empower yourself to manage symptoms at any stage that you may be experiencing them.
The goal of this webinar will be to encourage the mindset of strength and resilience, despite whatever storm you may be weathering.
