This workshop explores the challenges of burnout and compassion fatigue in high-intensity work environments, particularly for professionals with lived experience supporting individuals in crisis. Participants will examine strategies for fostering connection, peer support, and psychological safety in the workplace. We will discuss the shift from trauma-informed to healing-centered practices, the critical role of internal support teams, and the importance of professional development pathways, including mentorship, continuing education, and career growth opportunities. Additionally, the session will explore practical ways to strengthen workplace culture, promote work-life balance, and ensure staff feel supported, valued, and equipped to sustain their impact.
