🌟 In-Service Training Recap: Compassion Fatigue & Meet the New Case Manager 🌟 On Thursday, April 3rd, 40 dedicated aides attended an insightful in-service session on Compassion Fatigue led by Certified Bereavement Counselor Terri Agliardo, hosted through our Home Companion Program. Terri discussed the emotional toll of caregiving, often referred to as the “cost of caring.” It’s the process of deeply empathizing with those in emotional pain that can leave caregivers vulnerable to burnout. She also explored the key differences between Compassion Fatigue and Burnout to help everyone better understand and manage the emotional demands of their work. The session ended with a calming mindfulness meditation to help everyone recharge and refocus. 🧘‍♀️💆‍♂️ We also had the pleasure of introducing our new Case Manager, Jo Anne Lewis.
