Grief Webinar: Minimizing Burnout in Death Care Professionals

Death care and other caretaking professions are facing unprecedented levels of burnout as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic–and burnout can impede our ability to offer kindness and compassion to others. These workers carry an enormous responsibility: for many, funeral directors are their first entry into grief and loss and the experience with making arrangements can set the tone for a person’s grief journey. In this webinar, experts will identify warning signs of compassion fatigue, and offer strategies for balancing empathy with self-care.
