It is also highly recommended for those working in the legal and medical professions. These professions can be very stressful and burnout prevalent. Supervision can support the supervisee in developing awareness, thoughtfulness, and learning of the early signs of compassion fatigue. Better self-care translates to better care for clients and patients.
