The Compassion Fatigue Reset
Who this group is for
This group is designed for educators, health care professionals, and social workers experiencing compassion fatigue, emotional exhaustion, or burnout.
If you find yourself feeling depleted, irritable, detached, or questioning your capacity to keep showing up the way you used to, you’re not alone.
This is a space to reset, not by doing more, but by reconnecting with your own well-being.
What to expect
Over six weeks, we will explore:
Understanding compassion fatigue and burnout
Rebuilding emotional capacity and boundaries
Learning nervous system regulation tools
Restoring a sense of meaning and sustainability in your work
Sessions are interactive, supportive, and grounded in practical strategies you can begin using immediately.
A Supportive Space
Our groups prioritize psychological safety, comfort, and respect. You’re invited to show up as you are, no pressure to perform, fix, or carry anyone else.
Expert Guidance
Led by experienced clinicians who understand the emotional toll of caregiving professions:
Eileen Deswiage,
Master Therapeutic Counsellor,

Juli Kulyk,
Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology
Practicum Student
Burnout is a natural response to ongoing care and responsibility not a personal failing.Signs You May Be Experiencing Compassion Fatigue
You might resonate with this group if you’ve noticed:
☐ Feeling emotionally drained at the end of the day, or before it even begins
☐ Increased irritability, cynicism, or detachment from clients, students, patients, or loved ones
☐ Difficulty “turning off” work stress outside of work hours
☐ Trouble sleeping or feeling physically tense and on edge
☐ A sense of numbness where empathy used to come naturally
☐ Questioning whether you can continue in your role long-term
☐ Feeling guilty for needing rest
☐ A growing gap between how you want to show up and how you actually feel
Compassion fatigue doesn’t mean you’re bad at your job.
It often means you’ve been good at it for too long without enough support.
You care deeply about the people you serve. This group is about caring for the person who does the serving.
The Compassion Fatigue Reset offers structured space, practical tools, and shared understanding, so you can reconnect with your capacity without abandoning yourself in the process.
If you’re ready to feel steadier, clearer, and less alone in this work, we invite you to join us.
Spots are limited to maintain a supportive group size.
