Working in the helping profession is one of the most rewarding career choices that one can make. The desire to help create changes that better people’s lives are what draws us to the profession. The compassion and empathy we feel for others drives us to keep working harder. Over time, though, without proper attention paid to taking care of ourselves, we can end up losing our compassion for others. Feeling burnt-out we either shut-down in our profession or we abandon the profession all together. Compassion Fatigue is a part of the work that we do, however rarely gets noticed let alone talked about in the helping professions.
Ryan Lindsay is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who has worked extensively in the treatment of individuals with suicidal and self-injurious behaviors. Today’s web conference will focus on his personal experience with, and recovery from, Compassion Fatigue and Burnout. Ryan will highlight the individual and environmental conditions that increase one’s risk of developing Compassion Fatigue and Burnout. He hopes that his story will be the catalyst for both individual and organizational change focused on raising awareness of the effects of Compassion Fatigue.
