Description: Burnout is a syndrome resulting from chronic stress that results in energy depletion or exhaustion, increased mental distance from a person’s work or negative feelings about their career, and reduced professional productivity (WHO, 2019). Indeed, burnout has increasingly been recognized as a mental health condition which has helped to reduce stigma and allow for increased awareness and discussion about the condition. Burnout occurs over time and is cumulative, with additional stressors or demands interacting with a person’s depleted sense of internal resources. This workshop will focus on helping individuals to identify burnout and manage this condition through addressing the following learning objectives:

  • Identify when you are experiencing burnout
  • Understand the relationship between burnout, depression and anxiety
  • Gain knowledge on how personality traits, previous self and interpersonal relationships, and attachment styles impact experiences of burnout
  • Learn how to cope with, overcome and prevent burnout when dealing with prolonged stress over time

The workshop will include didactic, psychoeducation and discussion in order to attend to different experiences of attendees. Focus will be on increasing self-awareness of attendees and their sense of how to identify and overcome burnout.

Date: Wednesday, May 6th, 2020

Time: 1:00 - 2:00 PM
