We're delighted to announce another offering in our community education training series.

In this interactive workshop, participants will:

• Assess where they currently are on the continuum from Compassion Fatigue to Compassion Satisfaction;
• Learn effective strategies and techniques for transforming compassion fatigue into compassion resilience, including boundary-setting, assessing and managing trauma inputs, and low impact debriefing
• Assess their individual wellness practices; and
• Develop several components for their personal compassion resilience toolkit
