Mathieu, Françoise (2012) www.compassionfatigue.ca
Compassion is a VERB THICH NHAT HANH
“The expectation that we can be immersed in suffering and loss
daily and not be touched by it as unrealistic as
expecting to be able to walk through water without getting wet.”
Rachel Naomi Remen, Kitchen Table Wisdom 1996
Compassion Fatigue (CF)
“It’s the gradual erosion of all the
things that keep us connected to
others in our caregiver role,
empathy, hope and compassion.” (Becoming short tempered, feeling guilt or resentment at the
never-ending demands of our time.)

Resiliency Tools
There is no Wi-Fi in the forest but
you will find a better connection.
First, do no harm to
yourself in the line of duty
when helping/treating
others.
Second, attend to your
physical, social, emotional,
and spiritual needs as a
way of ensuring high
quality services for those
who look to you for support as a human being.
