Resilience and Compassion Fatigue
Principal at Dougherty Coaching and Consulting
For many of us, one of the gifts of our recovery is resilience, the ability to come back from the difficulties that life brings us. In this session, we'll explore the ways that this resilience can help us to avoid and manage the compassion fatigue that may result when providing Peer Based Recovery Support Services (P-BRSS), and navigate the difficulties of life, even in these challenging times.
