We take a moment away from the history and address a larger issue in both of our chosen careers and we offer up some stories and thoughts on how to combat compassion fatigue, burnout and depression caused from working in such a profession. If you are experiencing burnout, compassion fatigue, or depression and feel that it is just too much, we want you to know that there are people here for you.
