A free, printable one-page guide designed for nurses, CNAs, and home health aides navigating the emotional demands of caregiving. This quick-reference handout helps healthcare workers recognize the early signs of compassion fatigue across emotional, physical, and work-related categories, then walks through four practical first steps to start feeling like themselves again. Grounded in current research and written in a warm, judgment-free tone, it's a simple tool to keep at the nurses' station, in a break room, or on a bulletin board. Pairs perfectly with Baxter's Stress Reduction and Wellness class for anyone ready to go beyond the basics.
