Understanding what compassion fatigue is and learning how to recognize it is only the first step in keeping yourself, and those around you, healthy and happy. The various strategies for managing stresses, gaining a deeper understanding of what self-care really is, and learning how and when to walk away are vital.
The Fur-Bearers recognizes the dangers of compassion fatigue and what its cost is to advocates, and that’s why we’re presenting our webinar, An Advocate’s Guide to Avoiding Compassion Fatigue. This webinar will be presented by Kate Rizzuto, B.A., Concurrent Disorders Outreach Counsellor. Kate’s experience in the mental health and healthcare industries combined with her personal connections to The Fur-Bearers and other advocacy efforts make her the ideal facilitator for this webinar.
The webinar will last approximately 40 minutes and feature time for questions and answers from the audience. And all you need to attend is a computer or Apple mobile device (iPod or iPad). A webcam or microphone is not necessary for participation.
