Content:The purpose of the Compassion Satisfaction: Preventing Burnout in the Workplace is to provide training for substance abuse counselors and mental health providers to prevent compassion fatigue and workplace burnout. This workshop will define compassion fatigue (or secondary trauma), address resiliency, self-care, and focus on provider well-being.
