### Compassion Fatigue & Self-Care Facilitation Certification Scholarship Application

Working in the helping professions—whether in healthcare, social services, counseling, or nonprofit work—requires deep emotional investment in the wellbeing of others. Over time, this constant exposure to the suffering and trauma of those you serve can lead to **compassion fatigue**, secondary traumatic stress, and burnout. This scholarship supports dedicated professionals who want to develop expertise in preventing and addressing compassion fatigue while fostering organizational wellness.

#### Who Should Apply

This certification scholarship is designed for professionals in helping roles who:

 - Work directly with individuals experiencing trauma, crisis, or chronic challenges
 - Have witnessed or experienced the cumulative emotional toll of secondary trauma exposure
 - Are passionate about creating sustainable self-care practices for themselves and their teams
 - Want to become organizational wellness advocates or compassion fatigue specialists
 - Serve in healthcare settings, mental health agencies, child welfare, hospice care, emergency services, or nonprofit organizations

#### Why This Certification Matters

Compassion fatigue isn't a sign of weakness—it's a natural consequence of caring deeply. This certification equips you with evidence-based frameworks to:

 - Recognize early warning signs of compassion fatigue and vicarious trauma
 - Implement practical self-care strategies that actually work in high-stress environments
 - Facilitate organizational wellness initiatives that support entire teams
 - Create trauma-informed workplace cultures that prioritize staff wellbeing
 - Develop resilience without sacrificing empathy or effectiveness
