Extinguishing Burnout<\/h1>\n\n\n\n
\"Alumni<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Caring for others can drain our own physical and emotional strength. We feel spent and cynical. We have a hard time empathizing or caring about our clients\/patients, co-workers, and even our loved ones. Compassion fatigue affects healthcare workers, counselors and therapists, teachers and educators, correctional officers, ministers and clergy, and many others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the second session of the new Alumni Professional Development series, Extinguishing Burnout<\/a>, <\/strong>participants will get an overview of the symptoms of compassion fatigue, how to recognize it in workers and how to measure its severity, and research-based techniques to address it.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n
