“Compassion Fatigue, Reducing Stigma, and Increasing Access to Treatment”
Presented by Jim Scarpace | 1 CE Credit
Compassion fatigue, burnout and resistant clients are all too often part of the day to day struggles as treatment providers we run the risk of encountering day to day. This training is focused on identifying the risk factors associated with compassion fatigue as well as developing a new lens in which to view the clients we work with and the struggles they experience. This lens can help us engage clients in the treatment process while helping us to be successful and effective as treatment professionals.
