About This Event
Addressing burnout, secondary trauma, and compassion fatigue—we hear these concerns every day from nonprofit leaders who are asking what can I do to help? Join us Friday, December 16 to hear from two practitioners who will share perspectives on how to talk about an uncomfortable topic in helpful ways, and give you permission to fold up your Superman/Wonder Woman cape as you learn some new tools to try out whenever you need them.
Thank you to JPMorgan Chase for sponsoring CNM’s 2022-2023 Lunch & Learn Series.
Who Should Attend: This event is open to nonprofit Executive Directors, CEO’s, staff, volunteers, and board members of nonprofit organizations looking to serve Los Angeles County communities.
