Thank you for the work that you do.
As helping professionals, you have dedicated your career to supporting, protecting, and caring for others. You often work in high-stress, high-pressure workplaces and the things you see and hear can be traumatic.
Over time, this work can have a profound effect on your well-being. You may experience burnout, empathic strain, or secondary traumatic stress.
The CARE4YOU Conference is an opportunity for you to refuel. Join us for this free event and learn best practices to care for yourself while caring for others.
The first TEND conference was held in 2011 in Kingston, ON, Canada. The Compassion Fatigue Conference was one of the first conferences specifically crafted to address the realities of compassion fatigue and vicarious trauma in helping professions.
Over the years, the conference continued to grow and attract helping professionals from diverse backgrounds and professions. In 2014, the conference was renamed to CARE4YOU – The conference that cares for those who care for others.
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, CARE4YOU was hosted as a virtual event for the first time in 2020. In 2021, we decided to offer this event at no cost as a way to give back to our communities.
Yes! At TEND, we want to give back to those who already give so much to our communities.
Helping professionals. If your job is to help others – whether that be through treatment, counseling, frontline support, advocacy, volunteering, community outreach, or customer service – you are a helping professional.
The CARE4YOU conference is hosted by TEND. We provide education and consulting to a broad spectrum of workforces encountering stress and intense workloads. Our TEND Specialists are experienced professionals from the fields of mental health, organizational health, and resilience integration.
