Workplace Wellness: From Burnout towards Sustainability

This full-day interactive session aims to support employees with practical tools to enhance their workplace wellness during challenging times. Participants will examine compassion fatigue and compassion satisfaction through the lens of their own professional quality of life. By understanding what the warning signs and symptoms of compassion fatigue and burnout may look like in ourselves and others, we will be better prepared to respond by prioritizing well-being and mitigating potential harm to individuals, clients, and our organization. Participants will leave the session with practical tools and protective strategies to care for their mental health and minimize the experience of fatigue that can come from working in empathetically demanding jobs.

By the end of the session, participants will be able to:

• Assess their professional quality of life (ProQOL 5)
• Explore the positive and negative impacts that can result from working in human service positions including compassion satisfaction and compassion fatigue
  
• Identify the signs of compassion fatigue and burnout in themselves and others
• Employ practical workplace strategies and interventions to preserve mental health and promote self-sustainability
