NCHO and SEAHO invite you to join the Compassion Fatigue Webinar on Friday, March 16th from 10am to 11am!
Residential Education professionals are constantly volunteering, signing up, and ready to assist and help in any way possible, all while supporting students in crisis. But what cost does this have to your own mental health? Are we truly able to separate our personal lives from our profession? In this Webinar we will discuss the science behind Compassion Fatigue, the effects secondary trauma has when caring for others and explore these challenges faced by new professionals in an intentional way. We aim to discussing innovative strategies of self-care and share some of the practical techniques that are discussed in order to turn compassion fatigue back into compassion satisfaction.
Join us Friday, March 16th from 10am to 11am via Zoom where we will be featuring the following speakers:
