Summary: 

The goal of this workshop is to help supervisors in the social service fields identify skills and interventions that serve to promote supervisee development while reducing supervisee compassion fatigue, burnout, and vicarious trauma. Attention will be paid to compassion fatigue risk factors and risk reduction in order to advance effective and ethical services to consumers.   

Objectives:

  • Participants will be able to recognize the differences between compassion fatigue, vicarious trauma, and burnout among social service professionals

  • Participants will be able to identify risk factors for compassion fatigue, vicarious trauma, and burnout – both related to the clinician and related to the work environment.

  • Participants will be able to identify tools to utilize in supervision to build protective factors among supervisees to help prevent or reduce compassion fatigue, vicarious trauma, and burnout – with a focus on stigma reduction of personal therapy

  • Participants will be able to recognize the difference between healing involvement and stressful involvement, and recognize the role of intersession experience, in order to reduce risk of worker burnout

  • Participants will identify interventions to reduce stressful involvement within three categories: transient difficulties, paradigmatic difficulties, and situational difficulties
