Compassion Fatigues

About Compassion Fatigues

• Facebook

Compassion Fatigues was founded on the premise that society as a whole needs a reminder to be kinder.

Born in 2019, the objective of Compassion Fatigues attempts to redefine what it means to be a soldier; It takes an incredible amount of courage to show so much heart, and not fall victim to tribalism and the ‘us versus them’ mentality.

The name – Compassion Fatigues, is derived from a play on words of a medical term called compassion fatigue. The American Institute of Stress describes compassion fatigue as:

“…The emotional residue or strain of exposure to working with those suffering from the consequences of traumatic events.”

We are increasingly becoming more and more divided – socially and politically, bound by the societal boxes we are grouped in, which seems to dictate who deserves our empathy, so Compassion Fatigues aims to play a role in reversing course, using a military fatigues theme.
