At some basic level, each of us knows that our fundamental wellbeing is inseparable from the wellbeing of the world. If we isolate ourselves and disconnect from the suffering of those around us, we are actually disconnecting from ourselves. And yet, when we make a commitment to address such suffering, the demands and constant immersion in other’s physical, emotional and spiritual distress can feel overwhelming and terribly draining. In this workshop, led by licensed mental health counselor Alison Issen, you will explore the rhythms of compassion, and ways of balancing our own needs with the vast needs of those we serve. We can learn to take care of ourselves while deepening our capacity and motivation for compassionate action in our world.

After attending this session, participants will be able to:
-- Define and recognize symptoms of burnout and compassion fatigue
-- Differentiate proactive vs. reactive responses in difficult situations
-- Explore methods of self-renewal which will support them in their compassionate outreach with others

This program is presented by Alison Issen and hosted by the Winter Park Health Foundation.
