Compassion Fatigue

By the end of this webinar participants will be able to: 

• Understand the causes of compassion fatigue (the emotional residue of caring for others)
• Recognize the physical and emotional symptoms of compassion fatigue
• Understand and apply strategies to manage it

Research shows that high-quality early childhood education programs facilitate children’s learning and development, and excellent educators’ practices are essential to quality outcomes for children. In particular, it is the quality of the daily interactions between educators and children that have the greatest influence on children’s development.  PAGE 3.

Educators who prioritize nurturing relationships and provide children with consistent emotional support will support children to develop the skills, understanding, and confidence they need to interact positively with others. PAGE 28.

Research tells us that educators who regularly reflect on what they do, why they do it and how this new knowledge can be used to improve their practice achieve the best outcomes for children and families.  PAGE 33.
