This course provides the participant with training in each of the five (5) resilience skills for the prevention and resolution of work-related stress while, simultaneously, enhancing professional performance.

This training is also intended to produce an ameliorative effect upon the current compassion fatigue symptoms that participants may be experiencing.

The day is a potent alchemy of didactic information, experiential processing, and transformative techniques that assists the professional and/or volunteer care provider in resolving symptoms of compassion fatigue while, at once, developing resiliency skills and practices that prevent compassion fatigue symptoms in the future. Dr. Gentry has offered this training to over 100,000 satisfied professional and volunteer care providers in the U.S. and abroad.
