About the Course

Clinicians and mental health professionals provide a tremendous amount of support to clients and consumers. The often ongoing roles, responsibilities, and demands common in these professions can result in burnout and exhaustion. This training will provide a framework to understand risk factors associated with burnout and strategies to support one’s overall health and well-being.

This course is based on the recorded webinar, Compassion Fatigue for Clinicians and Mental Health Providers created by Christina Marsack-Topolewski, Ph.D., LMSW in 2024.
