Francoise presented the material in a way that was easy to comprehend with scenarios that solidified the teachings. There was such a great flow and scaffolding of information. The resources provided are extremely beneficial and will support ones own self awareness, growth and resiliency. The big lightbulb moment: Addressing empathetic strain and compassion fatigue is an act of social justice!
