Burnout and compassion fatigue are often used interchangeably, but they are different experiences with different drivers. In this live virtual session, social workers, counselors, and other helping professionals learn what the research says about stress, burnout, and compassion fatigue, including how each develops and what supports recovery. We draw on established models, including Maslach and Leiter's work on burnout and Figley's compassion fatigue construct, and say clearly how strong the evidence is for each claim. This is a professional literacy session: it builds shared language and recognition skills, and it does not diagnose or treat.
Learning objectives: Participants will be able to:
Differentiate stress, burnout, and compassion fatigue using established research models.
Identify the areas of work/life associated with burnout risk.
Describe at least two evidence-informed recovery strategies helpers can use outside of work.
Outcomes: Participants leave with:
A shared vocabulary for talking about burnout and compassion fatigue with colleagues and supervisors
A ProQOL-5 handout for private self-reflection
A pocket reference card summarizing key concepts and recovery strategies
Who This Is For
Social workers, counselors, therapists, addiction professionals, case managers, peer support specialists, youth workers, educators, healthcare staff, and the supervisors and leaders who support them. New to the field or decades in, you'll leave with something useful.
This training will be hosted on Zoom. After you have purchased your ticket our team will send you a link to the email associated with your purchase.
