Synopsis:

Conscious Service will help service providers in all types of human service understand and move beyond burnout and compassion fatigue and discover a renewed energy for serving others. Each of us can learn how to thrive and find fulfilment in our vocations as we make a positive difference in our homes, workplaces, and communities. Using images, storytelling, and practical application exercises, Elizabeth Bishop invites us to reimagine how we think about, train for, and embody service. Blurring the line between the traditional and the alternative with expertly chosen spiritual and self-help insights, Conscious Service: Make a Difference Without Sacrificing Yourself offers pragmatic and inspiring guidance for direct service providers and the people responsible for the systems and structures through which service is delivered. Even if serving others isn't the core focus of their vocation, readers will discover keys to feeling better, living with purpose, and contributing with impact.
