Supervisors working in areas specializing in crisis or trauma work need to monitor and evaluate the levels of stress and trauma experienced by their staff on a regular basis.
Effective supervision plays a valuable role in addressing symptoms associated with compassion fatigue, as therapists may be reluctant to discuss their symptoms of compassion fatigue with co-workers or supervisors due to fears of job loss.
Practice healthy coping strategies by creating a personal wellness plan that embraces the cognitive, emotional, behavioral, spiritual, interpersonal and physical dimensions of wellness.
