Join the OneOp Military Caregiving team for our Virtual Learning Event (VLE) session #3: “Recharging! Combating Compassion Fatigue” at 11:00 a.m. EDT on Wednesday, November 18.
The experience of trauma, also known as compassion fatigue or secondary traumatic stress, can extend beyond those who are directly impacted, to those who provide care to traumatized individuals, including military service professionals. As such, military caregivers are at a high risk for the negative impact of compassion fatigue that can lead to impairment in social and occupational functioning.
Upon completion of the VLE Session #3, you will have gained an understanding of the concept of compassion fatigue, and will be able to describe the symptoms of compassion fatigue, and discuss strategies to minimize the negative impact of compassion fatigue.
The VLE is centered on the theme of reenergizing and rejuvenating your work environment. This FREE web-based learning opportunity is open to the public and will be similar to a professional conference – no travel involved! Registration is required.
