Mental health providers play a vital role especially in the educational setting. They deal with the students’ adjustment to new environment, day-to-day experiences and career choices and the needs of the higher education institution they work with. This study is designed to explore the psychological safety, compassion fatigue and burnout experience of mental health providers in higher education institutions in Batangas province. Participants of this study were selected through purposive sampling. More so, this study used sequential explanatory mixed method which combined quantitative and qualitative method. Results showed that the respondents were experiencing low levels of psychological safety and average levels of compassion fatigue and burnout. Work relationship was the theme that emerged for the respondents’ psychological safety while selfcare was the theme that emerged for both compassion fatigue and burnout. Results also suggests that respondents were vulnerable to psychological safety, compassion fatigue and burnout as the results revealed no significant relationship between the profile of the respondents and the three (3) variables. It was also found out that compassion satisfaction is negatively correlated with exhaustion, mental distance and overall burnout. Results also suggests that burnout is positively correlated to exhaustion, mental distance, cognitive impairment and the respondents’ overall burnout.
