Understanding and combatting Compassion fatigue

Hi everyone,

Last night we had a Topic Tuesday event around exploring compassion fatgiue - check it out here.

We discussed what compassion fatigue was, how it differed from burn out - the different signs to look out for when considering if it's burn out or compassion fatigue and then also looked at tips and strategies to look after ourselves through this. I thought the conversation could continue here and I'll tag those that were involved in the event (no pressure to get involved here though!) and perhaps you can share one thing that you learnt from the event that you could share to others that weren't there last night?

What interested you from the knowledge shared? If you had a friend struggling with potential burn out of compassion fatigue, what from last nights event would you want to share with them to help for instance?

If you weren't there - what do you know about this topic, have you had any experiences of compassion fatigue that you know of?
