Compassion Fatigue

Compassion fatigue is the cost of caring for others or for their emotional pain, resulting from the desire to help relieve the suffering of others. It is also known as vicarious or secondary trauma, referencing the way that other people’s trauma can become their own.

Using the principles of Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT), this session provides you with tools to manage compassion fatigue. The workshop is led by Assistant Psychologists from the Hub and will consist of one 1.5-hour long session.

  • Wednesday 21 May, 1.30pm – 3pm
  • Wednesday 18 June, 10am – 11.30am
