Dr. Beverly Kyer began her professional journey as a 6th-grade educator before transitioning into clinical social work, where she developed a deep expertise in trauma. For nearly three decades, she served on the front lines of direct care and administrative services, supporting children, adults, seniors, and veterans impacted by traumatic experiences. By her 29th year, the cumulative effects of sustained stress took a serious toll on her health. During recovery, she reflected on the countless dedicated professionals she had known—individuals whose compassion and commitment had come at great personal cost. This realization inspired the founding of The Kyer Group Corporation, an organization dedicated to addressing Compassion Fatigue—also known as secondary or vicarious traumatic stress—which encompasses burnout and post-traumatic stress. Dr. Kyer has since authored two books and provided national training and consultation to help organizations and professionals recognize, prevent, and recover from the effects of compassion fatigue. Although compassion fatigue has existed for generations, the need to understand and address it is more urgent than ever. Dr. Kyer continues to advance awareness and practical strategies for sustaining well-being and resilience among those who serve others.
