Time:
9:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m.

Participants will explore effective strategies for coping with compassion fatigue as well as for developing professional and personal resilience.
Learning Objectives:
By the end of this training, participants will be able to:
- Describe the reasons and causes that lead to vulnerability when dealing with client trauma.
- Define compassion, compassion fatigue, and burnout.
- Develop strategies for building and maintaining resilience.
