The Compassionate Teacher – Staying Well as We Care for Others

Current research shows compassion/empathy fatigue is a real issue in Australian schools, contributing to poor staff mental health and wellbeing.

The Compassionate Teacher workshop/webinar explores well ways of responding to the distress of others (students, families, colleagues). Building on Prof. Jane Dutton and Monical Worline’s model of workplace compassion (Notice – Interpret – Feel – Take Action), school staff will leave with a renewed understanding of how to care for self and others in responding to student and staff needs, and learn actionable strategies to use immediately in their school context.

Participants learn:

  • How workplace strain presents in schools (burnout, secondary traumatic stress, compassion/empathy fatigue)
  • Key differences between empathy and compassion for school staff
  • How to respond sustainably to student and colleague needs to maintain wellbeing as a caregiver in the school context.
Timing: 90 minutes – 5 hours (workshop can be tailored to available time, and also delivered over multiple sessions eg twilights)
