December Compassion Fatigue Peer Support Group Meeting

Compassion Fatigue Peer Support Group

We can support each other!

• Friday, December 15, 2023
• 10:30 am - 12:00 pm Pacific
• Zoom Meeting

Within the last 6 years there have been increased stressors for therapist members professionally and personally.  These stressors include but are not limited to:

• The Tubbs Wildfire and its aftermath
• The COVID-19 Pandemic
• Political, racial and world events that have caused unrest and violence and deaths
• The economic issues that have results from the pandemic and other world events

Many therapists have taken on an increased caseload to meet the needs that continue to outstrip the capacity of mental health professionals, while navigating working in a very different way online.  In addition, clients' recoveries are slower and their symptoms, stressors and pain are more acute.  

Come to this group to share your experience and be witnessed by your peers as we navigate this unprecedented time.  This will be a time to not only share what we are experiencing and holding, but to also uplift each other.  Uplifting sharings could include readings, music or art, as well as guest members with healing offerings with body movement, sound, etc.  We will also explore some of the valuable written resources around this topic such as the books Burnout and Trauma Stewardship if there is interest.  We want this group to be what you need and are open to ideas and suggestions.

Know that you are not alone, and come to be supported, validated and lifted up.
