Preventing Compassion Fatigue and Burnout
Online virtual eventMany of us support others in our roles at UBC, whether by providing guidance to students, offering frontline services, or managing faculty and staff as a leader. The demands of these roles, in conjunction with administrative and other work responsibilities, can make us vulnerable to compassion fatigue and burnout.
Compassion fatigue refers to the emotional and physical exhaustion that can result from caring for others. Burnout is the broader experience of chronic workplace stress characterized by emotional exhaustion, cynicism, and a reduced sense of personal accomplishment.
