Description

In high-empathy professions, compassion fatigue is pervasive yet insidious.

When ignored and unmanaged, it silently erodes performance, resilience, and both personal and organizational health. This session will examine the impact of compassion fatigue, showing how emotional strain inevitably leads to disengagement and performance decline when recovery is absent. Participants will explore how compassion fatigue differs from burnout and learn evidence-based leadership strategies — including boundaries, recovery practices, and supportive systems — to protect empathy, sustain resilience, and foster long-term professional well-being.
