Overview:

Avoiding burnout requires a commitment to regular stress management, self-care, and leading a balanced life. When it comes to burnout, prevention is the best approach. This workshop will examine common sources of stress, the stress response, signs of stress, and the importance of self-care and social support. Burnout and compassion fatigue will also be addressed along with the lifestyle, work, and personality factors that contribute to burnout. Participants will learn stress management tools such as time-use analysis, mindfulness, and cognitive restructuring, and will practice simple and effective stress reduction techniques such as progressive muscle relaxation, breathing exercises, and guided imagery.

Why should you attend: Chronic stress can lead to physical problems such as headaches, stomach aches, and insomnia. If not addressed effectively, stress can lead to burnout, which is emotional, physical, and mental exhaustion. High employee turnover and absenteeism are two signs of workplace burnout.
