What is compassion fatigue
(empathic strain) and burnout?

Compassion fatigue is often called the cost of caring for people dealing with crisis, trauma, poverty, addiction and grief. It can be prevented. Burnout refers to prolonged stress and frustrations in the workplace or daily life.

I create practical, engaging workshops and seminars that are tailored to your unique needs and informed by consultation, pre-surveys, and evaluation.

I am also available for educational events, keynote presentations and retreats.
