This presentation delves into the concepts of compassion fatigue, burnout, and vicarious trauma experiences that are prevalent among those of us working in peer support. By fostering a deep understanding of these phenomena, this session aims to equip us as peer professionals with the knowledge and tools necessary to safeguard their well-being while continuing to provide empathetic and effective support to those we serve. We will foster an open dialogue around these topics and provide a unique hands-on opportunity to practice skills such as boundary setting and effective communication. We seek not only to educate, but to empower peer professionals to combat CBV.
1. Understand compassion fatigue, burnout, and vicarious trauma (CBV),
