Reducing the Impact of Compassion Fatigue

With
Robin Beardsley, MD, CCFP

Presented by Satir Institute of the Pacific

Date: May 31, June 1, 2014 from 9 am – 5 pm

Location: Phoenix Center, 13686-94A Avenue, Surrey, BC V3V 1N1

This workshop is intended to provide those in the helping profession with knowledge about the “Cost of Caring” or Compassion Fatigue (Figley 1982). Compassion Fatigue (CF) is characterized by a deep physical and emotional exhaustion and a pronounced change in the helper’s ability to feel empathy for clients, loved ones and co-workers. Many of us in the helping profession are much better at caring for others than we are for ourselves. While caring for the physical and emotional needs of our patients and clients is usually an immensely rewarding experience, this “Compassion Satisfaction” can be eroded by heavy case loads, dwindling resources, increasingly stressful work environments, negativity and cynicism from co-workers, and increasingly difficult stories.

During this workshop we will explore how CF integrates with Virginia Satir’s experience of a person, using the metaphor of the Iceberg. CF impacts every level of the Iceberg and is an occupational hazard for anyone who is in the caring professions.
