Supporting Those Who Support Others: Break the Cycle of Stress, Trauma & Burnout
If you’re a frontline worker, health professional, personal carer, or first responder, you know the toll that high-stress environments can take on your mental and emotional well-being. The demands of your role can lead to vicarious trauma, compassion fatigue, and burnout—making it essential to have the right support.
If you’re feeling exhausted, overwhelmed, or like you’ve lost a part of yourself in the work — you’re not alone. Caring for others day after day takes a toll, especially when there’s little space to process what you’ve seen and felt.
