| Workshop | Compassion Fatigue Identification, Management and Prevention. Compassion is quintessential to the establishment of trust, respect, and safety in any growth promoting relationship. As caregivers and/or social service professionals work with challenging populations, they are vulnerable to feeling undervalued, overextended, and isolated in their efforts to motivate and evoke change. During these challenging experiences, too often frustration and emotional exhaustion replace compassion, and the people within their care tend to endure an arrest of development and/or a regression. | Provincial | Click to visit website |

An organization of caregivers for caregivers that helps them maintain their own wellbeing. Offers information, education, support, networking, advocacy, and community development to make caregivers' lives less difficult. The 9 module COMPASS for the Caregiver workshop encourages caregivers to recognize that in order to care for a loved one, they must first care for themselves. Participants find their strength and accept their limitations as together they tackle some of the most challenging aspects of caregiving: the difficult emotions like guilt and resentment, dealing with family, friend and health professionals that just don't understand, managing stress and depression, and finding time for themselves. |
