Compassion Fatigue and the Law Librarian: I Just Don't Care Anymore

Moderator - 
Amy Hale-Janeke 
Reference Librarian/Media Coordinator
U.S. Court of Appeals 5th Circuit Library

Librarians are service-oriented professionals. Yet the constant wear and tear of a week filled with trying to meet the expectations of a demanding clientele can be stressful and emotionally exhausting. 

This moderated discussion will focus on various compassion fatigue related issues including dealing with patrons, a stressful work environment, cyclical and topical compassion fatigue. Do you have compassion fatigue or know someone who does? Watch the video and take the assessment to find out. The results might surprise you.  Sign-up to join the discussion!
