Webinar: (09-2022) Compassion Fatigue and Building a Compassion Resilience Culture

Description

Acknowledging, respecting, and preserving the bond between research animals and their human caregivers is vitally important for the well-being of all participants in the research enterprise. In this webinar, attendees will learn about compassion fatigue and its impact on the animal research community. Steps that organizations can take to monitor and address stressors experienced in animal care settings, to identify compassion fatigue, and to implement effective countermeasures that have been identified in similarly emotionally taxing workplaces will be presented. The importance of developing a compassion resilience culture will be discussed, along with tools and strategies to create this culture and validate and strengthen the human-animal bond. Time will be available for participant questions and discussion.

This webinar is aimed at IACUC administrators and members, and may also benefit other laboratory animal professionals (research faculty and staff, veterinarians, researchers, animals use trainers, animal care givers, and other personnel that may be involved with the care and oversight of animals in a research setting).
