Despite the demands that come with working in a nursing facility, staff are dedicated to their craft and enjoy a deep satisfaction from helping care for residents. The other side of the job brings pressures that can increase susceptibility to exhaustion leading to compassion fatigue and other occupational hazards.
This interactive webinar hosted by the Center of Excellence for Behavioral Health in Nursing Facilities, will identify and define elusive work-related conditions and the emotional and physical toll that can occur over time. Content will include strategies to prevent and cope with compassion fatigue through building resiliency and practicing self-care. Nursing facility staff will learn prevention efforts to take care of themselves, both personally and professionally, and consequently residents in care.
