Compassion Fatigue

Compassion Fatigue
Tuesday, November 12 at 6pm
Whether you are in the healing profession or a caretaker for a loved one, compassion fatigue is a real and challenging experience. Walking with patients and loved ones as they experience physical, emotional, cognitive, and lifestyle changes related to illness, can bring up our own stories of loss. As the length of our caretaking continues, it can be difficult to remain present and empathetic as our experience of our patients and loved ones suffering becomes more intense.

The Maryland Doula Collective works with you to learn strategies for limiting burnout and compassion fatigue. Through mindfulness, somatic awareness guidance, and personal boundaries our doulas support you to continue living and loving to the fullest.
