Emotional Wellbeing
Mitigation Strategies to Address Emotional Exhaustion
People who work in “helping” professions often feel a call to serve. While this sense of purpose can make the work very fulfilling, the work itself is often rife with challenges and there is an emotional cost to caring so much. This workshop will guide participants to recognize and identify drivers of burnout as well as a roadmap to resilience across the span of a career. We’ll discuss both individual and system-level strategies, and we’ll explore common roadblocks that impede our ability to follow through.
