Through research, real-life experiences, and practical strategies, this conversation highlights how relationship-based, trauma-informed practices can foster resilience and promote healing for both children and caregivers.

Caring with Intention: Navigating Compassion Fatigue through Emotional Intelligence
Special Guests Corey H. Cassidy, PhD, CCC-SLP & Patricia Eitemiller, M.Ed., QMRP Compassion fatigue affects how we show up at work, at home, and in our relationships. In this episode, we explore what compassion fatigue is, how it differs from burnout, and how strengthening our emotional intelligence helps us care with intention. Through reflection and practical strategies, we discuss boundaries, capacity, and agency, empowering us to protect our empathy, make intentional choices, and stay connected without losing ourselves in the process. Find strategies that work for you. Consider the following: 1. Practice self-awareness and reflection (e.g., journaling to express gratitude and acknowledge accomplishments). 2. Build healthy coping strategies (e.g., physical activity, creative outlets, deep-breathing exercises, or spending time outdoors). 3. Cultivate a support network—friends, family, peers, and colleagues—and connect with intention. 4. Reframe negative thoughts and celebrate small wins, sharing progress and successes with others.
