Overcoming compassion fatigue

July 27th, 2012

Caregiving can be powerful, satisfying work, but people who work in the fields of health care, education, social work, pastoral care and emergency services face a unique occupational hazard – compassion fatigue – often called “the cost of caring.”
 
If caregivers do not practice regular self-care, this can lead to compassion fatigue — a deeply painful state of physical, emotional, and spiritual exhaustion.
 
But there is hope!
 
Compassion Fatigue Toronto offers workshops to help caregivers create a practical and effective self-care plan to improve their physical, emotional and spiritual health.
