What are the signs of compassion fatigue?
Your appetite, sleep or concentration may be affected.
You could feel exhausted (mentally and physically), dizzy or sick.
It may be difficult to be sympathetic to others, especially those you think are making a fuss without good reason

Some people feel overwhelmed with many angry, irritable or sad feelings. Others feel detached or numb. Still more fret about what they could or should have done in difficult situations. Or dwell on incidents and individuals they believe have harmed others.
Observations on academia as we move into another term impacted by the pandemic
- everyone is exhausted, lots are fearful about the coming months
- unis are still not attending to student/staff need
- wellbeing isn't understood in terms of work/teaching practices

- accommodations students and staff are entitled to have still not been met
- the impact of Long Covid is barely recognised
- staff and student concerns about Covid-19 safety are being ignored
- many conflicting messages re: health and safety

#AcademicTwitter #AcademicChatter
- because of the legacy of bad academic practices prior to the pandemic and poor management from unis since, trust is very low
- therefore where support is offered students/staff are wary
- where excellent support is available people are too tired to take it

#EduTwitter and #PastoralCare Twitter you may find the above helpful if any pupils are struggling on #GCSEResultsDay ⬆️
My Lockdown takeaways from Week 2 - 1. Staff Wellbeing - Being apart, doesn't mean we can't support each other or be together. At lunch times set up a zoom for those you may normally catch up with, share your experiences. Try to make your day as normal as possible. #teacher5aday
2. Journey time - if you usually have a 30 minute commute to work #getoutside and take a walk before your day starts. The fresh air, sounds of the birds and watching the sun rise can really set you up for a great day. Same at the end, walk, reset and unwind. Take time for you.
3. Be organised - we can all feel busy, but to be efficient be organised. @SFL2326 shared a great article today which l will summarise...a pianist will only play beautiful music if the notes are played in the correct order...make a list, set realistic goals for the day #wellbeing
