What is Compassion Fatigue
"Compassion Fatigue is a state experienced by those helping people or animals in distress; it is an extreme state of tension and preoccupation with the suffering of those being helped to the degree that it can create a secondary traumatic stress for the helper."

Caring too much can hurt. When caregivers focus on others without practicing self-care, destructive behaviors can surface.
Apathy, isolation, bottled up emotions and substance abuse head a long list of symptoms associated with the secondary traumatic stress disorder now labeled: Compassion Fatigue

What is compassion fatigue costing you?
Compassion Fatigue often hits critical mass in the workplace. When this happens, the organization itself suffers.
- Chronic absenteeism
- Spiraling Worker's Comp costs

These are among the organizational symptoms that surface. This creates additional stress on workers.
