Podcast: Michelle Black, Compassion Fatigue Care

"Many first responders, doctors and nurses are worried that they'll lose their jobs if if they share what they're experiencing. It was really devastating to think so many are experiencing compassion fatigue - also known as secondary trauma." - Michelle Black
