The definitions of – and differences between – Compassion Fatigue, Vicarious or Secondary Trauma, and Burnout are tackled in this workshop. Such factors and characteristics as organizational culture, role clarity, ambiguity, overload and conflict will be identified and examined – as well as their roles in contributing to or alleviating work stress – both organizationally and individually. Practical coping resources will be provided.

Whether at work or home, it can be hard to slow down in a stressful environment. Mindfulness means tuning into the present moment, thoughts, feelings, and sensations. Join us for a practical introduction to mindfulness strategies and practices that can help in coping with stress and anxiety and provide a respite from a busy day.
