AB  - Hospital social workers commonly experience empathy fatigue and burnout at work.  However, empathic distress can be reversed by cultivating compassion as a skill and learning how to turn empathy into compassion. This report explores how 60 staff used Compassion Mind Training (CMT) to promote workplace mental health for hospital social workers. It recommends building a workplace culture of compassion through CMT using various ways to reinforce individual and organizational commitments. This helps create a sense of psychological safety that leads to positive ripple effects in the mental health of staff.
