Time: 9am-12pm EST

Location: Online via Zoom

This event has been approved for 3 Continuing Education Credits by the CCPA.

Webinar:

We will start the afternoon by talking about the differences between burnout, compassion fatigue and vicarious trauma. Next we talk about the brain. There are some things that are hard wired into us. We don’t get a choice. Then we take a break so folks can ask questions. Next we will talk about why being in a pandemic makes things harder for us as helpers. And we will talk about why being online does the same thing. We have another break for questions and then we finish up talking about looking after ourselves. That means ideas for self-care, ways to cope with technology and how to set boundaries in our work lives. We finish with a final question period.
