The animal welfare field is complex, trauma-exposed work, which inevitably takes a toll on staff well-being. If compassion fatigue hits critical mass in the workplace, organizations may find themselves with high rates of absenteeism, turnover, teams struggling to work well together, outbreaks of aggressive behavior, and a resistance to change. This workshop will provide participants with an understanding of organizational compassion fatigue and secondary traumatic stress, along with the evidence-based practices organizations can implement to reduce risk and promote staff resilience. Learn how shifting from self-care to we-care will create a healthier workplace that can deliver on its mission.
