Compassion Fatigue & Burnout Prevention
Compassion Fatigue & Burnout Prevention
A 3-Hour Workshop for Doulas & Perinatal Professionals
April 2027 · 3 hours · Live via Zoom · Recordings available · Exact date TBC soon
Caring deeply is at the heart of this work, but without the right tools and boundaries, that care can come at a cost. This 3-hour workshop is designed to help doulas, HCPs and anyone supporting pregnancy, birth and parenting to recognise, prevent, and recover from compassion fatigue and burnout, so they can continue supporting families in a sustainable, healthy way.
Led by Jen Crawford, this session draws on a unique combination of life coaching and business coaching skills, alongside 15+ years of hands-on experience supporting families and mentoring doulas. The workshop blends emotional insight with practical strategies, acknowledging both the personal and professional pressures of this work.
Participants will be guided to reflect on their own wellbeing, identify early warning signs of burnout, and develop realistic tools to protect their energy, boundaries, and passion for the work.
This is not about “doing more self-care.” It’s about creating sustainable practices, clear boundaries, and supportive systems that work in real life.
What the Workshop Covers:
Understanding compassion fatigue and how it shows up in a giving role such as doula work, midwifery, IBCLC etc
Recognising early signs of burnout before crisis point
The emotional labour of caring roles and how it impacts mental health
Boundaries in practice: emotional, time, and availability boundaries
Balancing care for clients with care for yourself
Tools to support resilience, regulation, and recovery
Reflecting on workload, business structure, and sustainability
Reconnecting with purpose and preventing long-term disengagement
Practical strategies you can implement immediately
Who This Workshop Is For:
Birth and postnatal doulas
midwives, nurses and doctors
IBCLCs, breastfeeding supporters, antenatal educators, parent supporters
Perinatal professionals in caring roles
Anyone supporting families while navigating emotional load and responsibility
1:1 Business Coaching & Mentorship
Want to go deeper? I also offer 1:1 business coaching and mentorship for doulas and birth and parenting professionals. You can book a session on any topic to build your knowledge and skills, brainstorm challenges in your work, or create packages and services for a particular group of families, like parents of premature babies, and what they really need from you.
