This course offers an in-depth exploration of empathic strain/compassion fatigue, a concept that is increasingly relevant in professions involving high levels of care and emotional labor. Participants will learn to identify, understand, and address the psychological and emotional toll experienced by those who provide caregiving, counseling, or other helping services.
The course will begin by defining empathic strain/compassion fatigue, explaining how it develops, and discussing the impact on mental health, job satisfaction, and overall well-being. By the end of the course, participants will have practical tools and frameworks to recognize the signs of empathic strain/compassion fatigue in themselves and others, and strategies to manage and mitigate the condition effectively.
