How to Succeed Against Compassion Fatigue Training
January 22 @ 12:00 pm - 2:00 pm
As we enter the remaining weeks of 2024, many of us are reflecting on the things that we are grateful for, such as: friends, family, and memorable moments. Some look forward to seeing the colorful fall foliage, while others get excited to experience their first taste of winter. Regardless of your preference, as one year closes out, another one begins.
Although this time of year can be filled with gift giving, decorative ornaments, and comfort food, there are other pieces that can be less pleasant: traffic, long shopping lines, and the remembrance of those no longer with us, to name a few. In many places, it is dark when you wake up for work and dark when you get out of work. Over time, these things can impact your mental and physical health overall. When these variables are coupled with challenging or high-stress work environments, it can be easy for anyone to become increasingly overwhelmed. This may show up in work performance, decision making, and with peer-to-peer relationships.
Based on popular demand and direct requests from colleagues working in the human services field, CWLA is happy to again offer the How to Succeed Against Compassion Fatigue training. This learning opportunity will encourage active participation and shared learning. The following areas will be discussed:
- Contributing factors that can create/exacerbate compassion fatigue in the workplace
- Examples of what compassion fatigue can look like for direct service staff, supervisors, and managers
- How compassion fatigue can impact agency morale, client relationships, and assessments
- Tips, strategies, and suggestions on ways to take a proactive approach to reducing compassion fatigue with early identification techniques that promote psychological safety
