March Spotlight 2025
Compassion Fatigue and Self-Compassion.
March marks the final stretch before the much-anticipated spring break for schools, providing a timely and well-deserved reprieve for educators and students alike. This period serves as an opportune moment to reflect on the pervasive issue of compassion fatigue—a phenomenon that affects many within the education sector. It is crucial to acknowledge the emotional toll that continuous caregiving and support can have on educators and to explore strategies to mitigate its impact, ensuring their well-being and sustained effectiveness in their roles.
