Learn practical strategies to help you transform your experience with compassion fatigue (and more!).

Compassion Fatigue Strategies Plus is a unique online class designed to support people who work with animals. In this four module, self-paced class, you will establish a foundation of knowledge to help you better understand and transform your experience with compassion fatigue (aka empathy strain), burnout, and stress.

This course is entirely self-paced with the exception of four live calls. The calls will be on Tuesday evenings at 8pm ET on 3/1, 3/15, 3/29, and 4/12. 

The course will help you recognize signs and symptoms of compassion fatigue, burnout, and vicarious trauma, learn how to reduce stress injury, increase your self-care and team-care practices, build compassion satisfaction, restore resiliency, and make successful changes in your life and in your organization.

This class is a unique personal exploration to help you build the self-awareness necessary to manage the impact of compassion fatigue and other stressors. Please be aware that the class work can be emotionally challenging.

This class is not a substitution for professional mental health care. If you’re suffering from clinical depression, anxiety, or are having suicidal thoughts, please seek professional help.

By the end of class you’ll have a variety of practical strategies to help you manage and transform your experience with compassion fatigue and reduce overall stress. You’ll have a better understanding of yourself and how to engage in self-care that works for you, as well as how to support your staff using vicarious-trauma informed approaches, so that you can be well, while you continue to do good work!
