Self Care: Using Mindfulness to Reduce Compassion Fatigue

Development and Family Relations, Families and Health Center

Registration Fee: $65 (Early bird rate $58.50 by February 26, 2010)

Social workers and counselors experience multiple sources of stress
including high caseloads, emotional demands of helping clients in
difficult situations, paperwork, and balancing work and personal life. 
We can easily lose connection with ourselves in this process of caring
for others.  Long-term career stress can lead to deep physical,
emotional, and spiritual exhaustion. This self-care workshop will
provide an introduction to mindfulness-based stress reduction practices
to help to offset job stress, maintain personal balance, and decrease
risk for stress-related physical and emotional problems. 

Mindfulness based stress management has an impressive research record
with clinical and non-clinical populations in teaching skills which
result in less discomfort from anxiety, depression, shame and grief. 
These techniques are based on paying attention to the present moment
with a non-judgmental attitude.  The skills of shifting focus to gentle
compassion in place of  worry, judgment, or blame can be learned and
taught to others.
