Compassion fatigue is common among caregivers, and professionals, in the medical field, legal field, mental health field, or in any area in which individuals are exposed to the suffering of other people. It's a term that describes the physical, emotional, and psychological impact that can occur when empathizing with others and trying to help others.

About the Podcast

Helping The Helpers
Each year about 400 physicians die by suicide. Work-related stressors and mental health problems are two well-known factors for suicide among health care workers. To help address the pressure doctors, nurses and other allied health professionals face every day, the T. Leroy Jefferson Medical Society is hosting a podcast called Helping the Helpers. No healthcare professional should suffer alone when there are resources available. Better wellness for our health professionals means better outcomes for us all.
