Talk to my coordinator/director. I try to take break and maybe a mental health day. I try to focus on what I feel and why I feel it. Where is this coming from. I try to be compassionate with myself too. I have a therapist who is awesome and helps me whenever I feel like I am hitting my limits.

Find a co-working who I trust and talk with them about how I feel and what’s going on at that moment. I will say I am lucky that I work with my brother who is the cook 😊. He is a great person to talk to at times ! Sometimes I like to sit in peace and talk with God !

As an early childhood learning provider, when I start feeling compassion fatigue, I take time to care for myself by pausing to breathe, seeking support from coworkers, setting healthy boundaries, and doing activities that help me recharge emotionally, so I can continue to be present and supportive for the children in my care.

When I feel compassion fatigue I try to be open and honest with those around me about it. I see what stresses I’m experience and if some of them I can ask others to help with. I will also spend my free time relaxing and focusing on myself more during these times because I know a part of this is not taking care of myself.
