Compassion fatigue

We recognise that those in caring professions have a special empathetic skill set that leaves them open to compassion fatigue through vicarious trauma.

They explain why recognising and addressing compassion fatigue is important to those in a caring role and the organisations that utilise people in a caring role, and they also present tips and strategies for building resilience.
