Workshop sets sights on ‘Compassion Fatigue’

Prevention Works! brings a workshop on compassion fatigue to Clallam County, set for 9 a.m.-noon on Saturday, Oct. 5, at the Jamestown Campus’ Red Cedar Hall in Blyn.

In a presentation titled “Building Resilience Against Burnout and Compassion Fatigue: Strategies for Success,” Dr. Marya Barey — a psychologist, therapist, teacher, mental health supervisor and author — will define compassion fatigue, indicate prevention activities for caregivers and increase awareness of personal and professional consequences of compassion fatigue.

Barey will offer effective strategies to prevent and counteract symptoms professional caregivers may experience over time.

Prevention Works! offers this training particularly in support of the local crisis of extremely limited access to local quality childcare and to assist current caregivers in becoming less vulnerable.

Cost is $30 and covers the presentation, healthy snacks and certificates; STARS hours, CEUs or Clock Hours are available upon request.
