Compassion fatigue is currently a significant problem in Indonesia. The number of traumatic problems in adolescents and the shortage of school counselors cause them to have a heavier workload. Compassion fatigue occurs when a counselor is unable to consistently demonstrate empathy, compassion, and care to clients. This is due to the fact that constant contact with clients undergoing intense emotional experiences is very draining on the counselor's physical and emotional reserves. This study aims to identify and describe compassion fatigue in school counselors in Indonesia. A systematic approach to research is necessary for this methodology to be successful. We used an online survey to collect data. To analyze it, we used the RASCH model to categorize the level of compassion fatigue among school counselors. There are two indicators: work burnout and secondary trauma. Thirteen items in the tool were used to measure the severity of compassion fatigue in counselors. The study involved 69 school counselors who were all actively involved in providing counseling services in junior high schools in Indonesia. The findings obtained from this investigation revealed that school counselors in public junior high schools in Indonesia experience moderate levels of compassion fatigue.
