Compassion Fatigue Workshop
Compassion Fatigue Workshop
Supporting your team to recognise, manage, and recover from emotional fatigue
Supporting others – whether in leadership or people-focused roles – can be incredibly rewarding. But over time, it can also take a toll.
Compassion fatigue can build gradually, often showing up as exhaustion, irritability, reduced motivation, or feeling disconnected from work and others. Left unaddressed, it can impact wellbeing, team relationships, and overall performance.
Recognising the Signs
Compassion fatigue doesn’t look the same for everyone, but common signs may include:
- Feeling mentally or physically exhausted
- Difficulty concentrating or staying engaged
- Increased frustration, negativity, or withdrawal
- Reduced resilience to stress or change
- Changes in sleep, health, or overall wellbeing
Recognising these signs early is an important first step in supporting both individuals and teams.
