Course Description

In professions centered around helping others, like education, psychology, social work, and healthcare, there's a hidden challenge known as "compassion fatigue." This is when caring individuals start to become less sensitive and concerned about others' suffering, often feeling overwhelmed or powerless to make a difference. In this session, we will address this issue by uncovering the incredible power that compassion can have when serving others. We will explore how compassion goes beyond just feeling empathy; it can actually drive real change. Our discussion will highlight how combining compassion with a deep understanding of the science of behavior can bring about meaningful transformation and lead to effective and lasting solutions, particularly in social justice issues. This session is designed to motivate and equip behavior analysts with the knowledge that compassion, paired with expertise in the science of behavior, can spark positive change in the lives of others.

What You'll Learn

  1. Describe key signs of compassion fatigue, enhancing their awareness of this condition in themselves and their colleagues.
  2. Discuss how compassion can be effectively integrated with their professional knowledge to support social justice efforts.
  3. Identify practical, compassionate solutions, informed by the science of behavior, that can create sustainable, positive changes in their professional settings and the communities they serve.
