Hi everyone,

Seems quite nice that this is a smaller community, as that might very well mean that this subreddit is then tight-knit. Anyways! I am currently working as a coordinator of services for aging out foster youth in Phoenix Arizona and keep bumping into victim advocacy. In many ways I do so similar work, but I of course don't know the intricacies of this work that you do.

I'd like to know what sort of hours do you work, how has it shaped your work-life balance? Do you feel that you see a lot of compassion-fatigue and burn out in this line of work (perhaps obvious)? And how did you come to do this job?

Thank you for this opportunity to learn from you all!
