Burnout, Vicarious Trauma and Compassion Fatigue – Let’s talk about it!

Feeling tired more than usual? Sleep doesn’t give you enough rest? Less bounce in your walk? Does your brain tend to get foggier faster? Perhaps a little on the edge with co-workers, clients and family? Too many glasses of wine at the end of the work day? Long work hours? The list goes on and on…

If you are nodding as you read these questions, you may be experiencing Burnout and Compassion Fatigue!

As part of our work, we listen to stories of our clients. The emotional residue of exposure to traumatic stories and experiences of others may have a deep impact on us. Learning about vicarious trauma and ensuring that we talk about the impact it has on our lives is part of our responsibility, not just to our clients but to ourselves.

Join Stella Kavoukian, Christine Kim, Jared Norton and Laurie Stein as we explore what it is and discuss the strategies to support ourselves and colleagues.
