COURSE DESCRIPTION:
As chaplains, pastors or church volunteers, if we are not careful, we risk burnout. It is our deep caring nature and heart for others that leads us to serve those in need. Continual service to others who are in a crisis is a tremendous blessing but can also become a wound if we are not carefully preparing ourselves. As we listen to the horrific stories of those who have been traumatized, over time our own person may become traumatized without the practice of self-care. We can experience vicarious trauma, compassion fatigue, and burnout. Thus, it is imperative that we take care of ourselves physically, emotionally, and spiritually. To keep serving others without losing heart, we must maintain a healthy body, mind, and spirit. We need to build resistance and resilience to be able to stand in the face of chaos and hopelessness. How do we practice taking care of ourselves so that we can continue to take care of others?
