The Hidden Cost of Care: Addressing Compassion Fatigue in Research Involving Animals
Caring for animals in research requires expertise, empathy, and emotional resilience. But the responsibility of care can come with a hidden toll. Compassion fatigue is a challenge for many professionals, with significant impact on both human wellbeing and animal welfare. This three-part webinar series brings together experts with the aims of raising awareness, sharing strategies, and fostering resilience by exploring the following themes: Establishing a Culture of Care, Tackling Compassion Fatigue, Communication is Key.
