As helping professionals, we often place the wellbeing of others ahead of our own wellbeing. However, far too often we do not consider the personal cost of pushing ourselves to be as helpful as possible for clients with serious mental health issues. In this presentation attendees will learn about the concepts of: compassion fatigue, vicarious traumatization and burn-out as well as a clinician’s ethical responsibilities when they recognize professional impairment in themselves or others. The presentation also focuses on increasing attendee’s understanding of how various risk factors contribute to the potential of developing compassion fatigue and burnout. Attendees will gain an understanding of and practice wellness strategies as well as develop their own personal self-care plan. 3 CEU’s will be provided.
