Connections Halifax is hosting a one day educational workshop that all helping professional’s MUST take part in.

Walking the Walk: Creative Tools for Transforming Compassion Fatigue and Vicarious Trauma

We all pay an emotional price for doing the work that we do – the demand often outweighs what we can offer. What is the impact of this work on our own well-being, on our personal life?

It’s time to make a shift and renew our sense of hope and optimism about the future and the value of our work.

This is a highly interactive one day workshop, incorporating a combination of solo, small group and whole group activities. Topics covered will include:
- Understanding compassion fatigue and vicarious trauma
- Symptom checklist, targeting areas for strategic planning
- Evaluating self-care, identifying triggers
- Developing a personalized strategic plan for identifying and treating compassion fatigue
- Past participants have reported feeling inspired to make meaningful changes in their personal, professional and organizational lives in addition to learning practical strategies for dealing with the costs of caring.
