¿Cuáles son las mejores estrategias para apoyar a un maestro con fatiga por compasión? (2024)

Healthcare is a similar space and I personally feel the following work:-1. Daily coffee meet just to share talk and laugh 2. A weekend getaway with the team 3. Changing one or two routine things and adding a fun task 4. Taking the load off in a subtle manner These are some of the ideas which might work

Peer circles and community groups with similar professionals where experienced people share their stories to empower juniors. Reverse mentoring is also helpful to understand and interpret the generational and lifestyle choices. When professionals feel supported and heard from peers who have traveled the path, they feel more rejuvenated to deal with the fatigue.

Very often validation and normalization are the first steps towards acceptance and healing.This is where experienced mentors are able to use experience based story-telling to help offer reassurance and validation showing different perspectives.

Self-care encompasses taking care of your physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual needs. It’s about engaging in activities that rejuvenate and replenish you. This might look different for everyone. For some, it could be physical activities like yoga or jogging, for others, it could be mindfulness practices, reading, or spending time in nature.As a mentor, I encourage you to think about what self-care means. What activities help you feel refreshed and balanced? How can you integrate these practices into your daily routine? Remember, self-care is not selfish; it's essential for your well-being and effectiveness as a teacher.

Through my 3+ years of mindfulness ritual practice, it has had a profound impact on my emotional wellbeing. In the process of my meditative walks, I have become more self-aware and as a result, I have learned that self-care is paramount for me.

Actively engage teachers as part of burnout solution. Show teachers how to burn strong when they simply get up, go on, and grow again after they are unsuccessful. Create together assessments that work for, not against a teacher’s chances to grow and find genuine success. Show enthusiasm by celebrating even one thing a teacher does well, and we've already exchanged dangerous mental toxins for growth. Name what's going well first, and then take whatever distinctive approaches will support growth back after burnout.Collaborate on a newly developed evaluation form – designed to assess teachers in a brain-friendly manner after observing their lessons. Yes, the solution starts with teachers here to learn what parts to adjust going forward.

Mentors themselves also need mentors. Also having a community of mentors to discuss bottlenecks and special situations keeping all confidentiality in mind is a fantastic way of supporting each other and preventing fatigue of any sort.

One of the most powerful practices is trying a technique together in the moment. Modeling the tool or strategy may help relieve nervousness in your mentee to try something new. Additionally, having them practice in the moment helps them to build muscle memory for the practice to use outside of your time together.

I recently completed mental health first aid awareness training which was very helpful and led to discussions about how to support. It is also important that the mentor receives support for themselves and remember that our own wellbeing is important too.

Resourceful mentors may wish to compile a list of professionals who may be able to support their mentees. Often, an ability to choose gives the mentee a sense of empowerment to make decisions, even on a challenging matter like that. This said, we need to be cautious how we address the subject of professional help, as it is much better if elicited, rather than suggested.

As a leader and single mother, compassion fatigue is something I have experienced first-hand. Here's what would have helped me manage this better:1. Support from others Most times we may think it's a small assistance but for someone going through compassion fatigue, every little help is appreciated.2. Rewards and recognition. Appreciation goes a long way. Taking someone doing so much for granted is the last thing we should do. Showing appreciation through rewards and recognition goes a long way. 3. Flexible workload. Work is not the one factor in our lives. When combined with other commitments in our lives, it could be a lot. Flexible workload via work sharing/distribution and working schedules can make a huge difference.

It is important to understand the difference between personal and professional relations and not interchange each other. For this happen, we need to understand boundaries between our own trauma and those of others. Another important pointer is to be able to effectively dissociate from the situation and reflect upon our emotions.

There are many great suggestions posted in this thread about supporting a colleague or mentee with compassion fatigue. An additional thought I will share here is: “Consider your own perfectionist tendencies and intentionally let them go.”One respected mentor advised me ten years ago saying, “Shannon you don’t have to put a bow on everything.” He was referring to how many hours I was spending after 5:00 pm replying to emails or phone calls or student behaviour problems when I was an assistant principal. The “bow” was a metaphor for aiming to make all of my communications perfect. It was a phrase and concept I carried with me since. I did learn to let go a little but it took me a decade more to realise my personal energy wasn’t endless.
