When I start feeling compassion fatigue, I make sure to take a step back and recharge. This can include talking with a trusted colleague, taking a short break, practicing mindfulness, or doing something restorative outside of work. I also try to set boundaries and make self-care a priority, so I can stay present and compassionate for the children in my care.
