Compassion Fatigue - The Danger In Silence

In this week’s episode of NAMI Maine Talks, Hannah Longley sits down with Chris McLaughlin, MSW, LCSW (Executive Director of the Maine Chapter of the National Association of Social Workers) to talk about the concept of compassion fatigue and burnout. Join us as we discuss how social workers and first responders can develop compassion fatigue through having to work with others: pain, stress, or trauma. Also, listen for ways to address your own burnout to try and reduce work exhaustion!   Host: Hannah Longley, LCSW (Clinical Director of Advocacy & Crisis Interventions at NAMI Maine) Special Guest: Chris McLaughlin, MSW, LCSW (Executive Director of the National Association of Social Workers, Maine Chapter) Learn More (Helpful Links): NAMI Maine's Helpline - https://namimaine.org/helplinemaine/ Maine Mental Health Database - https://namimaine.org/maines-mental-health-resource-database/ In Crisis?
