Professional Resilience

This workbook is a companion to the Professional Resilience & Optimization Workshop--an evidence-based intervention for lowering compassion fatigue symptoms and enhancing professional resilience. The powerful effects of this one-day workshop have been published in nine peer-reviewed scientific journals over the past 15 years. This workbook walks the reader through the entire workshop process so, while it is an excellent adjunct to the workshop, it will also work as a stand-alone resource for health and service professionals wanting to lessen the negative impact that their work has upon their live through a process of developing and maturing professional resilience. This workshop catalyzes the principles, practices and protocols of the Accelerated Recovery Program for Compassion Fatigue--an evidence-based treatment to resolve the deleterious effects of work-related stress. Templates and exercises from both the Workshop and the ARP are available and reproducible within this workbook.
