ABOUT THE SPEAKER

J. Eric Gentry, Ph.D., LMHC is an internationally-recognized leader in the study and treatment of compassion fatigue.  His Ph.D. is from Florida State University where he studied with Professor Charles Figley, who wrote Compassion Fatigue: Coping with Secondary Traumatic Stress Disorder in Those Who Treat the Traumatized in 1995.  In 1997, under Dr. Figley’s direction, Gentry developed the Accelerated Recovery Program for Compassion Fatigue with Anna Baranowsky, Ph.D., and Kathleen Dunning.  The ARP has demonstrated powerful effectiveness for treating the symptoms of compassion fatigue. In 1998, Gentry and Baranowsky introduced the Certified Compassion Fatigue Specialist Training and have trained thousands of professionals towards this designation since that time.  Gentry has worked with hundreds of professional caregivers from Oklahoma City, New York City, and the state of Florida following their work with disaster survivors.  He has published many research articles, book chapters, and periodicals on the topic of compassion fatigue treatment and resiliency. 

Dr. Gentry draws equally from his scientific study and from his rich history of 30 years as a clinical professional to provide this training.  His commitment to his mission to serve caregivers helping them to become evermore effective with minimal symptoms is evident throughout this training.  You will be challenged, inspired, and uplifted by Dr. Gentry and this unique training experience.
