"Cathy Rosenthal’s approachable and relevant training on Compassion Fatigue for staff and a separate session for managers kicked off our first all-staff meeting Day of Care for 2022. The classes were fun and enlightening to lead staff to understand, “is it compassion fatigue or is it burnout” and what they can do to mitigate."

"San Antonio Feral Cat Coalition asked Cathy to give her talk on Compassion Fatigue at our annual Volunteer Appreciation Luncheon. Throughout the 45-minute talk you could see many nodding heads and even a few tears. Given the subject matter, it was surprisingly entertaining, and considering the rave reviews, others agreed. Cathy is not only an excellent speaker, she has a down-to-earth approach that connects with her audience."
