Today’s animal welfare and veterinary medical professionals are pushing the boundaries of what’s possible for animals, people, and the organizations that heal, connect, and protect them. If that’s you, it’s easy to feel like nothing you do is ever good enough. The work feels never-ending. Taking care of your own needs might seem impossible.

It’s true – the work has become more complex. But you don’t need a magic formula to be well while you do meaningful work. You do need tools and ongoing support while you practice new, life-changing skills.

Please check out Jessica Dolce’s Compassion in Balance site for more information and resources for Compassion Fatigue!
