Compassion Fatigue in Clinical Supervision: Ethical Use of Self During a Pandemic and Beyond

Delivery: Synchronous Virtual Classroom via Zoom

As supervisors, we are experiencing what our supervisees and our clients are experiencing at the same time as we live with and through this pandemic. Compassion fatigue seems to be growing exponentially and how we manage ourselves during this time will be influential for our supervisees and important for our own feelings of effectiveness.

In this training, we will discuss our own experience of fatigue and its interplay with our work with supervisees. We will discuss the current politicized system and its impact on our supervisees and clients, and particularly our supervisees and clients of color (BIPOC).

Case studies, small group work, and large group discussion of current literature will be utilized for engagement and learning in this training.

By the end of this workshop, participants will be able to:

  1. Identify compassion fatigue symptoms in themselves and their supervisees.
  2. Engage in problem-solving processes to address issues emerging currently in clinical supervision sessions.
  3. Use processes to intervene effectively with supervisees who are struggling with their own fatigue during the challenges of these times.

This workshop is appropriate for all levels of supervisors.
