Overview:

Clinicians and mental health providers give deeply of themselves to support others—but over time, the emotional toll of this work can lead to compassion fatigue, vicarious trauma, and burnout. If left unaddressed, these effects can compromise your well-being, therapeutic effectiveness, and even your longevity in the field.

This practical, supportive training offers a comprehensive look at the risk factors and warning signs of professional burnout—and, more importantly, what you can do about it. You’ll explore evidence-based strategies to build resilience, create healthy boundaries, and sustain a fulfilling career in the helping professions. Whether you’re currently feeling depleted or want to stay ahead of the curve, this session offers tools for healing, balance, and long-term wellness.

Objectives:

  • Identify risk factors for burnout, fatigue, and stress.
  • Articulate strategies to support overall health and well-being.
  • Describe steps professionals can take to prevent these conditions and promote work-life balance.
