COMPASSION IN BALANCE ASIA
CiB Asia is a collaboration between Asia for Animals Coalition and Compassion in Balance by Jessica Dolce.
​
We know there is a silently spreading well-being crisis in the animal protection movement across Asia and beyond.
Compassion fatigue, burnout and related stresses are rife and those who are dedicating their lives to help end animal suffering are bearing the brunt.
At CiB Asia, we bring education and resources to address this ever-growing crisis. We are not a substitute for medical or behavioral health care. Any person experiencing trauma, distress, or any other mental or physical health problems should consult with a qualified healthcare provider or their local emergency services.

"Self-care is never a selfish act - it is simply good stewardship of the only gift I have, the gift I was put on earth to offer others. Anytime we can listen to true self and give the care it requires, we do it not only for ourselves, but for the many others whose lives we touch"
