Invigorating Compassion

Compassion fatigue and burnout often deprive healthcare providers of altruistic motivations and attributes that initially attracted them to caregiving. Aside from the recommendations for a healthier lifestyle, little has been offered to assist those in caring occupations to nurture their empathetic resiliency
and enduring passion for helping others in need. This course helps care providers reclaim their compassionate zeal by uncovering factors that can derail empathetic caregiving; it also provides practical applications that are beneficial both personally and professionally.
