Working in a caring profession can be a hugely rewarding experience, but repeated exposure to the traumatic experiences of others (in addition to high caseloads and the pressures of client-related admin) can take its toll – physically, emotionally and psychologically.
This course is designed for anyone whose work with service users could potentially have a negative impact on their wellbeing. The aim of the course is to help participants:
- identify the signs, symptoms and causes of burnout and compassion fatigue,
- develop strategies for building resilience,
- find a healthy work-life balance,
- enjoy a better quality of life.
