Marie shares her insights on how compassion fatigue can show up in daily practice and the importance of recognising it early. She also discusses the practical tools and supports Moore House Group puts in place, from reflective supervision and wellbeing check-ins to external professional services, all designed to help staff protect their emotional health and continue providing trauma-informed care.
