Flipping the Switch: Compassion Fatigue to Compassion Satisfaction (Online)
2025-08-05 10:00 - 11:30 (America/Los_Angeles) | Online, OR, United States
Presented by The Arc of Oregon – Oregon Training And Consultation (OTAC)
Training Description:
Many of us go into the human services field because we have an immense passion for helping others and serving our communities.
However, we aren’t always aware of how supporting others can take a toll on our own well-being.
This training will introduce the concepts of compassion fatigue and vicarious trauma, but most importantly we will discuss compassion satisfaction and resilience. Together we will gain an understanding of how to nurture our own well-being and protect ourselves, while also providing great support to those we serve.
