While self-care is vital for helping professionals, organizations have a responsibility to address the issue of compassion fatigue from an expanded context. Organizations may inadvertently blame individuals for not doing enough self-care, which can create a re-traumatization of the workforce. Participants will leave this workshop with specific steps that can be immediately implemented at the personal and organization level.
