Title: Compassion Fatigue

People who are drawn to working in the helping professions often times experience compassion fatigue.  Our day-to-day activities puts us in situations where we commonly see or hear about other people's suffering. We care for others but many times lack the skills to care for ourselves. For our final event of 2018, Dr. Carrie Wilkens will present on this topic and help guide clinicians on how to better care for ourselves while continuing to work with these vulnerable populations.

Please join us for this interactive conversation geared specifically to behavioral health clinicians. Dr. Carrie Wilkens promises to facilitate an energetic conversation, leaving you with practical skills and tools to navigate all that our holidays bring to our valued clients and providers alike.

Carrie Wilkens, PhD, is the Co-Founder and Clinical Director of the Center for Motivation and Change in NYC and in the Berkshires. She co-authored an award-winning book, Beyond Addiction: How Science and Kindness Help People Change with Drs. Foote and Kosanke. Together they also contributed to a user-friendly workbook for parents: The 20 Minute Guide: A Guide for Parents about How to Help their Child Change their Substance Use. In collaboration with the Partnership for Drug-Free Kids, Dr. Wilkens and the CMC team is developing a national parent training program (the Parent Support Network) to provide parent coaches to families in need of support through a free hotline. Prior to these ventures, Dr. Wilkens was the Project Director on a large federally-funded Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) grant examining the effectiveness of motivational interventions in addressing the problems associated with binge drinking among college students.
