Combating Compassion Fatigue - the Jewish Answer to “What’s Next?”
Closely following the holiday of Tisha B'Av, we observe Tu B’Av – the day we traditionally celebrate love, marriage and the continuation of life.

This resource is an opportunity to reflect on your own compassion fatigue as an educator and think through strategies to support yourself.
