Compassion Fatigue is the cost of caring for others, or for their emotional pain, resulting from the desire to help relieve the suffering of others. It is also known as vicarious or secondary trauma, referencing the way that other people’s trauma can become their own. Caregivers in the addiction and mental health field in meeting and providing for the needs and resources of their clients are in danger of becoming emotionally depleted by the intense needs of clients, and the workplace. This can result in a reduction in sense of accomplishment and feelings of inadequacy when clients do not respond, to efforts to help.

Compassion can have a positive impact on your life, from improving your relationships to boosting your overall happiness. Some of the positive effects are:
• Giving feels good: One reasons feelings of compassion can be effective is both giving and receiving compassion can improve your psychological well-being. As a recipient you get the support you need. But giving support to others can be just as rewarding.
• Compassionate people live longer: Activities such as volunteering can improve your longevity. Studies have found that people who volunteer out of concern for others tend to live liver than people who do not volunteer.
