​Compassion Fatigue Study/Discovery

I wanted to give my fellow rescuers and those reading about Compassion Fatigue an update. I am currently diving deeper into Compassion Fatigue in order to provide you with the correct information on what to expect, where to turn, and how to help a loved one. 

Compassion Fatigue was originally discovered by Charles Figley. Figley is the Paul Henry Kurzweg, MD Distinguished Chair in Disaster Mental Health and Graduate School of Social Work Professor at Tulane University. He has worked as a professor in the fields of psychology, traumatology, mental health, and more.

While I’m digging further into Compassion Fatigue, I’d like to provide you with two links to other blogs about Compassion Fatigue. Follow the links, read, learn, and meet me back here next time for our Compassion Fatigue discussion.
