How Challenging Work Changes Us

Sustaining compassion and purpose over our careers

Overview

Full workdays, trauma exposure, and administrative roadblocks can leave us feeling drained and, at times, disillusioned. Yet, we may remember a time when we felt inspired and energized by our career choice. How do we recapture our sense of satisfaction and fulfilment? What can we learn from those in our fields who seem to stay well no matter the circumstance?

Research has shown that by engaging in career-sustaining behaviours, we can stay compassionate and present throughout our careers. This training provides a deeper look into how the “necessary evils” of our work can impact our well-being. It also provides strategies to incorporate career sustaining behaviours into our work and lives.

This topic is also available as an on-demand course on the TEND Toolkit.
