Take Care of Yourself!

• Increased irritability or impatience with students, families, or colleagues

• Decreased concentration

• Denying that traumatic events impact those we serve or feeling numb or detached

• Intense feelings and intrusive thoughts, that don’t lessen over time, about someone else’s trauma

• Recognize compassion fatigue as an occupational hazard.

• Guard against your work becoming the only activity that defines who you are.

• Address your physical, psychic, and spiritual needs.
