Description: Website dedicated to educating caring professionals about Compassion Fatigue. Provides a range of information resources, mostly focussed on individual level self-care. Has link to the ProQOL assessment tool (Professional Quality of Life).
Includes a video presentation about the personal impacts and responses to Compassion Fatigue.
What's the evidence base for this resource: While the resources do not appear to be systematically appraised in regards to academic rigour, the site states that their aim is "gathering, documenting, and disseminating useful information that can be readily introduced into care giving environments in order to impact the lives of caregivers in a positive way".
Potential uses and limitations: Could be particularly useful for educating managers and supervisors interested in learning more about the personal impacts of Compassion Fatigue. The primary focus is individual level impacts and self-care.
Where it comes from: This project is founded by Patricia Smith, who is a leading US educator around Compassion Fatigue.
