Jan 19 Webinar: Managing Compassion Fatigue During COVID-19
Join us for a free webinar sponsored by the University of Maryland Department of Psychiatry FPI EAP Programs.
Managing Compassion Fatigue through Self-Care Strategies during COVID-19
Tuesday, January 19, 2021 at 3:00 pm
Professionals in the healthcare and education fields are at a greater risk for developing burnout and Compassion Fatigue due to excessive practice of compassion-focused skills. Compassion Fatigue can strike the most caring and dedicated nurses, social workers, physicians and personal support workers alike.
It has been shown that, when we are suffering from this, we work more rather than less. What suffers is our health, our relationship with others, our personal lives and eventually our patients.
The best strategy to address Compassion Fatigue is to develop excellent self-care strategies, as well as an early warning system that lets you know that you are moving into the caution zone of Compassion Fatigue.
