DESCRIPTION: What is Compassion Fatigue? Who does it affect? Why should you care? How do you deal with it? This workshop will answer these questions and build skills in the participant to identify, consider, and manage symptoms of compassion fatigue. Participants learn in an experiential environment that provides opportunity for reflection and analysis on their own symptoms of compassion fatigue through use of self-assessments and group discussion. At the conclusion of the session, participants will be provided with a self-care activity that provides the opportunity to relax and recharge.

Participants will:

-be able to define the 3 elements of professional quality of life

-identify characteristics that contribute to or provide resilience from compassion fatigue

-create a self-care plan for implementation following the training 

Trainers will be Jessica Kroeker and Ree Reimers, of Project Harmony.

Blended Learning Description: This course is a blended learning course. Blended learning consists of three components: self-guided learning; in-person training; and follow up webinar.
