Welcome
If you work in the homelessness sector, you care. That care is what makes this work valuable — and it is also what makes it hard.
Compassion fatigue is what happens when caring takes its toll. It is not a sign of weakness. It is a very human response to being regularly exposed to suffering, loss, and difficulty.
This module helps you understand compassion fatigue, recognise it in yourself, and think about what sustains you in difficult work.
