The Cost of Caring During COVID-19: Supporting the Supporters

Session Description

Caring for others often comes at a cost. Participants will have the opportunity to discover strategies to enhance compassion satisfaction and vicarious resilience through personal practices. Participants will be challenged to reflect on areas of strengths and opportunities for growth, while exploring ways to better care for themselves.

Session Goals

"1. Participants will be able to define differences between secondary traumatic stress, vicarious trauma, compassion fatigue, and burnout, as well as how to recognize these in themselves and others. 2. Participants will explore these terms as separate but related constructs, as well as discuss the risk and protective factors associated with them. 3. Participants will examine how to mitigate negative impacts which often arise when caring for others. 4. Participants will explore ways to enhance their self-care routine in small, incremental ways throughout the day. "
