Description:
Understanding and Managing Moral Distress and Compassion FatigueResearch demonstrates that all members of the veterinary team are experiencing morally stressful situations more commonly now than ever before.

During this webinar, the causes and consequences of moral distress and compassion fatigue will be shared and coping strategies outlined. While these situations are here to stay in veterinary practice, there are skills and tools that can help to buffer or prevent the consequences. All members of the team are welcome to attend.
Learner Outcomes:
1) Identify morally stressful situations and their underlying cause.
2) Recognize symptoms and stages of compassion fatigue and how it differs from burnout.
3) Gain strategies and skills for coping with and managing moral distress and compassion fatigue.
