Certification Training for Compassion Fatigue Professionals (CCFP)

Become a Certified Compassion Fatigue Professional.

Are you feeling burned out from your work as a professional caregiver?

As internationally recognized trauma treatment leader Eric Gentry, Ph.D., LMHC, explains, "There is no way to do professional caregiving without it having some negative impacts on our lives. I have watched many excellent caregivers in this field say 'enough' and leave the field because of compassion fatigue burn out."

Awareness of and ability to narrate one's own personal/professional history that has lead to negative effects associated with professional and/or volunteer care giving. Understand the role that perceived threat and sympathetic nervous system dominance play in the generation of compassion fatigue symptoms and, conversely, the role of self-regulation in the amelioration of current effects and prevention of future effects. Identify the process (i.e., “infection”) of secondary traumatic stress—how does a professional become gradually symptomatic when working with traumatized and suffering others? Be aware of how to use (a) connection/support; (b) relaxation, and (c) exposure/narrative to resolve current symptoms and to prevent future effects associated with secondary traumatic stress.	9.

Ability to understand and articulate the effects of compassion fatigue as being failed or thwarted professional maturation. 13. Ability to understand and articulate the specific processes, trajectory and tasks associated with professional maturation and how developing these skills enhance resiliency. 14. Comprehend and articulate a model of professional resiliency that allows the care provider to be healthy and maximally functional independent of environmental “demands” (internal vs. external control). 15. Recognize five (5) key resiliency skills for the prevention of compassion fatigue and how to implement these skills towards the prevention of negative work-related effects. 16.
