Self-care, Stress, Burnout, Compassion Fatigue, and Moral Injury Trainings for Helping Professionals
A unique aspect of these trainings is that Irene uses a harm-reduction and trauma-informed lens to examine the concepts of self-care, stress, burnout, resiliency, capacity, and wellness.
We will examine:
- the inevitable nature of helper compassion fatigue and how to identify and mitigate it
- the relationship between burnout, perfectionism, martyrdom, and savior mentality.
- the concept of “not getting stressed out by our stressors.”
- the systemic, personal and professional belief system upgrades that are necessary to increase our wellness and well-being.
- the brain science behind successfully changing our habits.
- the factors and symptoms of stress, burnout, moral injury, compassion fatigue, and vicarious trauma.
- meaningful and realistic changes the participants can make to reduce burnout and increase wellness.

Moral Injury
In the helping professions, moral injury, burnout, and compassion fatigue often intersect. Moral injury is a normal human response to moral failure. Due to resource limitations, questionable policies, personal and professional capacity, training, and staffing limitations helping professionals are often forced to make tough decisions that challenge their sense of integrity.
Moral injury is not about staff lacking resiliency.
“Moral injury is not a psychological disorder, but a normal human response to extremity and the disruptive impact of violence, oppressive contexts, and moral failure. Authoritarian systems with a lot of coercive control are especially morally injurious.” – Rev. Dr. Rita Nakashima Brock, Shay Moral Injury Center.
