The first key practice is to help people immerse themselves in stories of recovery. Oftentimes when educators are surrounded by negativity and bad situations that children are in, they can get burnt out easily because they only see one end of the story- their part. When educators are trying constantly to help students but don't see the results students hopefully find success because of their efforts. This is why educators need to listen to stories of recovery. One of the other keys is about self-care and balance. If you are in one of the later stages of compassion fatigue it may be difficult to effectively help students so making sure yourself is in balance is crucial. Educators need to balance their lives spiritually, physically, emotionally, socially, and intellectually.
