Combating Compassion Fatigue

Are you exhausted, struggling with sleep, and feeling drained? Please join us for a virtual lunchtime session that is all about tools and strategies to support YOU!  In our work, we are focused on helping others and sometimes we forget to care for ourselves. We will share some signs and symptoms of compassion fatigue and burnout and provide a variety of tools and strategies to sustain our work in a challenging field. Please join VFHS board member Reasa Currier, Director of the Department of Animal Sheltering for Fairfax County and Shira Rothberg LCSW, Deputy Director of the Fairfax County Public Safety Wellness Center. Shira provides behavioral health support to police, fire, and shelter staff and has a background in veterinary medicine and supporting trauma survivors and their families.  This webinar is eligible for 1.0 hour of CE Credit for ACOs.
