Jennifer Blough, Compassion Fatigue Expert and Author

Jennifer Blough, a licensed therapist, compassion fatigue expert and author of the bookTo Save a Starfish: A Compassion Fatigue Workbook for the Animal Welfare Warrior. Jennifer feels that we are starting to make some strides in awareness around compassion fatigue. Still, she thinks we have a long way to go in terms of addressing the in-fighting and “us vs. them” mentality often found between different groups of people working within animal welfare—all of which contributes to compassion fatigue.
